You're ambitious, I'll give you that. :p We were there for 10 days and saw almost everything on your list. We stayed in West Yellowstone and drove in to see everything from Norris, south. We moved to Bridge Bay for everything from Fishing Bridge, north. That way we didn't have to move too much, but we got to see the main things we were interested in. We are not hikers, due to mobility issues, but we did stop and walk on the boardwalks near the thermals. I'd say this is probably how 90% of the visitors sees YNP. Also, if you can get reservations for the Chuck Wagon Dinner in Roosevelt, you won't regret it.

Just be flexible in your plans. There will be animal jams, lots of RVs, slow traffic, busy boardwalks. Nobody gets anywhere fast. And don't forget to add in extra time for possible illness. None of us wants to get sick on the road, but we have experienced it several times and have learned to always add an extra day or two in the event that someone can't travel due to illness. It really helps us not get bent out of shape when the "schedule" is ruined. :W
