Yes, this is correct. You can only book 3 months ahead.
The prices seem to be the similar on sbb.ch
(Stuttgart-Yverdons-les-Bains, no BahnCard or HalbTax, 39EUR/48CHF)
But you should also compare with bahn.de.

I think some links and/or guidelines are helpful as it's not always
easy to find the best fares.
