Transfer unused H1B to new employer, while on TN visa

Hi forum, I have the following situation:

I currently work for employer "A" in the U.S. using a TN visa. This april, employer "A" will file an application on my behalf for H1B. On the other hand, I've been talking to employer "B" and they might throw an offer, but would be after april, so they wouldn't be able to apply for an H1B for me this year.

Is the plan below feasible?

1. Change TN visa employer by either filing I-129 without leaving the U.S., or going to Mexico and issue a new TN visa, then start working immediately with employer "B" on TN status.
2. Ask employer "A" not to cancel my pending application for an H1B (pay back visa expenses if needed).
3. Wait to get H1B visa approval for employer "A", and immediately file for visa transfer with employer "B".

What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your help.
