Most of what I know about Belgium is what I've seen through the eyes of a couple online friends who live in Liège. (Oh, and from a foreign exchange student from Belgium I knew in high school.) I didn't know Bruges existed until I saw the movie, In Bruges. I was aware of Gravensteen Castle, but know so little about Ghent. So, I appreciated that you covered the two towns so well...in a day! It's a country I've wanted to visit for a long time...but then, that describes most countries for me 😀

Actually, if you go from Brussels to Bruges you past Ghent. The rule is if you can stop in between a line and continue later the day, you do not need to buy a new ticket. So buying a train ticket Brussels-Bruges both ways would have been enough.

Belgian trains are flexible. No need for reservations etc. The national train company is called NMBS/SNCB (Flemish/French acronym) And as mentioned above, you can travel with one ticket Brussels-Bruges to Gent aswell as it is on the same trajectory. Coming from Brussels by train, best station is Gent-Sint-Pieters as you can hop on two tramlines (1 or 2) to get to the city centre. I prefer the second one as tramline 1 is the one most tourists will take. Oh and if you're travelling in a weekend, the traintickets (simply called weekendticket) are reduced by 50 percent and you can use it for the whole weekend (great if you have booked a hotel for a night).

Bruges and Ghent in one day is an insult for both cities inmy humble opinion.... there is a lot to discover.... For Ghent you need 2 days. If you do all in1 day you tend to visit the main instagrammable, very touristy sites. Also train ticket, you are allowed to step of , for a city in between on the same line for your itinarary if it is on the same day. So a ticket for Brussels to Bruges, allowes you to step of at Gent and get back on if it is the same connection.... so no extra tickets needed. With a wayandback ticket you can actually ,make an intermediary stop to Ghent on you way towards and return from Bruges.
