Don't trust specific transit schedules on gmaps, go to the source.
How much earlier than 10 do you need to be there? The first Caltrain gets to San Jose at 9:51. 10 minute cab ride to Santa Clara. That's 10AM, and much less of a pain than BART/bus/bus.
(Note that while Caltrain weekday schedules are changing on Oct 1, I don't think weekend schedules are.)
