It's not possible to tell you all details, but my advice is:

Bath is a famous place but I personally don't think it's worth going there. If you have been to Italy before and found many other Roman remains, then missing the one in Bath is not a big loss.

At daytime the area around Moulin Rouge is perfectly ok, but at night I couldn't guarantee, especially if you are there alone. You better have two guys around you for safety reasons.

However, as you mention that it's Christmas time the situation may be different (I have been to Paris in summer and autumn only). And I strongly discourage you from taking Metro late at night if your destination is far away from the city centre.

If you love arts and history perhaps you need more time staying at museums and Versailles (might take you a whole day for one single place if you love arts, or 2 hours would be too long if you don't)

Greenwich is an excellent place! I suggest you spend one whole day there, and cut your stay at Windsor (half day should be enough).

Also, when you're in Cambridge be sure you know which bridge is the 嘆息橋 in 徐志摩's poem. Don't get the wrong one.
