Oddly enough I was reading the guidance the other day. I'm sure I read something saying if you leave the non-exempt country to an exempt one and then travel home you should isolate for the remaining days to take you up to 14 days since you left the non-exempt country.
So if you were to leave France* today, spend a week in Germany seeing the sights and generally having a nice holiday and come home you'd have to isolate for one week after returning to the UK.
The isolation period only applies from whenever the deadline is to leave the country. Leave before the deadline (generally seems to be 4am on Saturday) and no quarantine is required. So in your example of leaving Switzerland before the country becomes non-exempt (and Germany remained exempt) you would not need to quarantine.
The form jellybaby mentioned has to be completed within 48 hours prior to travelling back to the UK, not after getting home.
*I know you're not in France but for this example let's pretend you are as it's simpler.
