It is possible, but you will in a rush if you travel using the local public transportation.
You can reach Luoyang Longmen Railway Station where you can take a taxi to reach the grottoes directly. Then you can take a taxi to reach LY Bus Station where you can find the buses to reach Shaolin Temple. After that you can go back to Luoyang or you can go to Zhengzhou to take bullet trains back to Xian.
For the tour agency, I think TravelChinaGuide is good and they have similar the travel route as your plans. This is their link: https://www.travelchinaguide.com/package/xian-luoyang-tour.htm. The prices can be found on that webpage. I heard that train ticket is included in their price.
