No, it won't work. Yes, your thinking is messed up:

$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net. ns1.totallogic.com a

; <<>> DiG 9.4.3-P2 <<>> @a.gtld-servers.net. ns1.totallogic.com a

The A records for your two name servers are also in the .COM zone.  If
they weren't there'd be no way to find totallogic.com in the first
place.  You'll need to log into your registrar and update their
addresses there as well as updating the local A records.  Since the
TTL is two days, don't turn off those old servers any time soon.
