I am trying to force redirect HTTP to HTTPS  as below 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

RewriteRule ^/?(.*)  https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

but it fails with too many redirect error .

Did you google "apache https redirect"? The second result (for me anyway) is to

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/avoid.html

which explains why you shouldn't use mod_rewrite for this. See also

https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RedirectSSL

Having said that I don't see anything obviously wrong with what you showed us other than you probably should be using %{HTTP_HOST} and the RewriteRule statement is needlessly complicated (but then so are most of the examples I saw from the google search recommended).
