ok tech question here TIA for help

Im moving to a new hosting company and am migrating my sites to the new server

when I am done how can I keep both sites up heres my idea but I dont know if it works...the goal is to keep both sites live until propagation happens fully

can I change the DNS info at the registrar so that I use

ns1.oldhosting.com
ns2.newhosting.com

and let that propagate for say 3 days then change it to

ns1.newhosting.com
ns2.newhosting.com

or am I going about this the wrong way and if so how do I avoid a site being unreachable during propagation?
