I need some wiring help. Referring to the attached picture, I want to control the sink overhead light with the combination switch and the left and right undercabinet lights with the single pole switch. The left and right undercabinet lights are fed by their own 14/2; they are not linked - but I want to control both of them with the one switch. I want the receptacle to always be hot. Is the wiring I drew correct? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The drawing will work.
However, I question the screw placement on your combo device. Normally the two screws close together(right side on the drawing) are both gold and are joined by a tab and are the power connection. The bottom left is the silver neutral connection. The top left is the switched connection.
