Personally, I think Fodors.com is usually a good place to start getting your trip itinerary together.
I check out the itineraries they have on there and then do my own research on the things that appeal to me. Then I start putting together my own tailored itinerary.
ETA: I think routeperfect does exactly what I use fodors to do but better. That is a discovery for me.

Rick Steve's is decent but the real treasure is his free app. Download the walking tours. They are awesome.

I downloaded a walking tour on the tripadvisor app on my phone while I was in Belgium. Was rather nice but I had to look at my phone for it to tell me what I was looking at sometimes.

In preparation for our upcoming trip to Europe (35 days to go!), I have listened to several of the Rick Steves podcasts on his Audio Europe app and have found them very helpful for learning about the history and cultural traditions of the regions we are visiting. I've also heard about some new places from the local people that he includes as guests that I may not have been aware of without listening to the podcast. Plus, in general, the conversations are interesting enough that the kids are happy to listen to them in the car with me when we are out and about running errands, going to school, etc.

One of the best apps I have found if you are riding trains is the Railteam app. Its android only I think. The Eurail or Rail Europe web sites have always been a Huge PIA. Often times you have to know what city connections are made and input that yourself before the Rail Europe site will find a train from Point A to Point B. This app is way more simple. Just put in your departure and arrival city and boom. It also shows all the stops along the way and for how long. We were taking a train from Amsterdam to Brussels a few years ago and normally would go to Amsterdam Central Station which is a super crowded, busy station. I looked on the app and saw our train first stopped at Amsterdam Noord station which was not very far from where we were staying. We caught the train there and didn't have to fight the crowds and were in our seats when we pulled into Central Station and got to watch the boarding chaos.

Yeah, that is the one I had downloaded it but then only took the rail one day since I had a vehicle I rented. Never used it either since I walked to the rail station and booked using a kiosk.
