We don't have an accurate overview of all the stars in the Milky Way - even the total number of stars may be anything between approximately 200 billion and 400 billion. However, many stars are part of double or multiple system, so we can be fairly sure there are millions of triple stars, just in our own galaxy.

Why is it impossible that one particular star will ever come close to another?

It is not impossible and many stars are part of a double or triple star systems. However, apart from those cases, the chances of two "independent" stars coming close together are small. It's all to do with the complicated mathematics of gravitation and the motion if stars in the Galaxy. The main reason is probably the typically huge distances between stars (or star systems) in the Galaxy. In fact, there was a theory (many decades ago) that a star passing close to the Sun could have been the cause of planet formation in the Solar System. However, it was shown to be an extremely unlikely event.
