In most cases with what you want to do, you would press up your veneer panel first. Then glue up your hardwood edges, which are thicker than the substrate. The thicker hardwood is then brought flush to the veneer. This way, the veneer edges are protected.
Why do you want to extend the veneer onto the top of the hardwood? Is there a structural or design reason? How will you transition from veneer to hardwood and 1) still protect the edges of the veneer and 2) make the transition look good? Especially if you want to do two layers of veneer?
The method that you describe can lead to the problems that you mention with seasonal movement, as well as how to transition to the hardwood, as well as possible chipped veneer edges.
Maybe you can expand a little more as to why you want to do it this way. If I'm reading your post correct, you could create some unneeded headaches here. It can be done, but you could be asking for it.
