You could go to the international ticket window in Paris a day or two before your trip and reserve couchettes for a night train, but look at the schedule and see if a reservation is required for day trains. If not, just go get on. If it's required you should probably reserve seats a day in advance.
check the website
raileurope.com
for schedules, supplement prices, etc.
You can buy tickets from them, too, but with a railpass, I'm not sure if they can give you the special price for supplements required on fast trains or couchettes.
There have been times in France, Italy, and Spain when I just went up to the window 15 minutes before the train left and got the reservation (I only did it if obligatory). Otherr times, I had to take a later train because trains were full. I didn't have much luck trying to get a couchette on the same day, so definitely plan in advance for night trains.

You will definitely want to reserve a seat during that time. If you plan on taking any night trains you will most likely also need a reservation (especially for a sleeper or couchette). Go to www.eurail.com to make reservations.

Yes. You pay an extra free for seat reservation. About 3 Euros. And since you're going in June-Augst (high season),
I strongly recommend that you reserve a seat.
