I am doing Assimil French and Japanese. If you have enough time, give it a try.

How's the Japanese course? Is it focusing on understanding/speaking Japanese mostly?
I may do this but with Italian/Japanese!

What is your opinions on "Assimil french with ease". I'm thinking about buying it, is it worth?

What is the better way to use two Assimil simultaneously? Will it be better to do for instance Italian in the morning
and French in the evening? Or maybe Italian in one day and French on another day? Or maybe it will be better to do
20 minutes Italian and then immediately go to 20 minutes French?

You can probably handle doing both. But I had to back off after trying to add German last week. I'm still going to add it, but I only have an hour or two in the morning and I realized that with finishing up the passive wave of Assimil New French With Ease, doing FSI French and Skyping with my French tutor, reading Le Monde or watching France 24, I really wouldn't have enough time to devote equal attention to German, which would not be fair because I really want to get good at both. So now I'm going to wait until I'm really, truly done with Assimil and am deep in FSI before I start German. By that time, I'll have had at least a solid six months of French, which will be a good time to "stagger" my languages and add the next one. But if you can do it, go for it! Et bonne chance!

Experimenting is the only way to find out. Start with the strategy that seems to make more sense to you, and then adjust as needed. You don't need to work with it the same way all the time. Maybe on some days you only have the time to do the lessons one after another, then do this. Or if you have time for only one lesson, focus on your more important language (unless you need to catch up with the other one or are about to have an opportunity to use the language). Simultaneous learning requires flexibility.
