The flights would be a mix of AA, Qantas, Cathaway, and Finair. Could I book this with like 3 months notice and be ok? Thanks.

There is no straight answer to this. If you would have asekd this question a year ago I think we would have all said no. A lot of those seat will have been taken 300+ days out.
But nowadays things have gotten a lot easier. I still say that it will be difficult to get the routing you want for the dates you want 3 months in advance. Especially in F but also in J. But if you are flexible with times and places than it might still be possible.
