Itinerary Advice Basel-Interlaken?

Hey everyone, my boyfriend and I are thinking of flying from Ireland to Basel between the 16th - 25th of August and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips regarding my (very draft-y) itinerary. 2 years ago we flew to Zurich and stayed in Lucerne for 4 days. From there we were able to hike Mt Pilatus and Rigi and honestly fell in love with Switzerland based on these experiences.

This year I was thinking of flying to Basel, travelling to Interlaken where we would spend 5 days (16-20 Aug), then spending 3 days in Lauterbrunnen (20-23 Aug) and finally going back to Bern on the 23 Aug before flying back from Basel on the 25th. I'm aware this is a very basic/ touristy plan, and I'm hoping to expand or change it a little bit based on any good/bad experiences with these areas. I am mostly choosing these as it is a part of Switzerland that we haven't visited last time and seem to be close to each other via train. Me and my boyfriend love nature much more than city life so i'm trying to prioritise that and also hoping to spend majority of our time there hiking and travelling between different mountains.

I'd appreciate any advice on whether these places are worth staying as long in and maybe places worth prioritising! :)
