NOTE: Internet indicates it is possible to purchase both portions at a Swiss Train Station from a window agent, yet you must explain you are using the Swiss Travel Pass for Wengen-Brig, and need to pay for the Domodossola to Milano Centrale (or maybe even to Lucca) portion, Other option is to buy the Domodossola to Lucca portion from Trenitalia online.
While in Wengen:
We plan to go up to the Jungfraujoch with reserved seats.
We may take other gondolas/cable cars in or near Wengen.
We would like to consider day trips by bus or train to nearby towns/villages (such as Grindelwald, Mürren, Haslital, or others within 1 hour (one way) by train or bus such as Interlaken, Spiez, Thun etc.).
We generally do not go to museums.
To save the most money, how and when should we buy these train tickets and what Swiss passes would most benefit us and how?
What additional information can I provide to help you assist us?

Daniel
