Buy a universal travel adaptor pack. Must of Europe uses round 2 and 3 plug outlets.

All use the standard "Europlug" two pin arrangement, which all your devices should be able to use the same sort of adapter for. They differ in grounding though, if you need that. A good bit of Europe uses the Shucko style, which has a contact ground on the top and bottom of the receptacle. France and Belguim have a male earthing prong on their receptacle. Itally just uses an extra hole between the two power prongs. You should make sure your equipment is 230V capable though. If not, you need a converter transformer.
