Train fares and tariffs / Re: Frankfurt-Brussels-London-Paris-Frankfurt

Thankyou so much for that information, much appreciated.
Yes, certainly found DBahn site better than the French one.
I can't really do anything about the plane arrival time, I will give myself about 4-5 hrs to connect and if there is a late arrival more than that I will just have to accept the loss, and rebook at the station, my travel insurance will probably cover any extra costs ultimately due to that reason anyway. Other than that arrange to stay in Frankfurt a day, which I prefer not to do.
My itinerary does in fact limit my time in Brussels to 1-2 days and Paris for the same, possibly a through journey on the same day back to Frankfurt, so your hint at further advice in that regard would be welcome.

Train fares and tariffs / Frankfurt-Brussels-London-Paris-Frankfurt

I am planning a trip for next year and have kind of concluded the course of action I need to take but would really appreciate some advice or confirmation as to whether I am being sensible or not.
All advice seems to be to book directly with the rail companies, eg DBahn, EuroStar as soon as their booking window for the dates I want become available. I have booked using DBahn before and was happy with the process. Questions I have are:
1. Do I book Paris-Frankfurt with DBahn or FrenchRail?
2. My forward from Frankfurt will be during Easter, any particular advice re that travel period?
3. I will be connecting after flying into Frankfurt and am a little concerned that if the plane is late my train booking will be lost, any customer support if I miss the train through late aircraft arrival?
4. Is there a more economical way of purchasing these point to point tickets, Eurail pass seems to be not economical for 1 pax.
