I would suggest to follow this route:
Geneva to Aigle along the Lake Leman, flat and easy Col
de Mosses or Col du Pillon (nicer the second option): up
and steep Gstaad to Interlaken: small uphill, then all
down or flat
In alternative, you could take via the Jura and cut via
Bulle through the Jaun pass and end up in Bottigen on the
route to Interlaken. The Jaun is quite steep and the route
is not as spectacular as the first one, but it is a bit
shorter and easier.
Interlaken to Meiringen: via the lake or via the
Gr.Scheidegg (flat and nice the first, steep and wonderful
the second - IMHO a must in that region)
Geneva to Meiringen can be done in one day, but it is a bit
limit (for me, could be a piece of cake for more trained
biker, e.g. Jobst ;-) )
Once in Meirigen, you can choose between the Susten or the
Grimsel-Furka. I have no experience here...
To get into the Engadin, I would recommend the Albula. A bit
steep but lovely and with little traffic.
