Booking Strategy Question

I see an available itinerary that works well for us:

MRS-LHR-DFW-SEA. The itinerary is all on one day but gets us into SEA after midnight.

I would like to stop in DFW for the night and pick up the first available flight the next morning to SEA.

The problem is that I have noticed a 1 or 2 day lag time before domestic AA flights are loaded after the international. So the flight I want the next morning is not showing yet.

Should I book the itinerary as presented all the way through to SEA and then call the next day when the other flight ( I hope) opens to change that last leg... or would it be easier to just book the itinerary only to Dallas and then add the other flight the next day via a hold or call.

Hope I am not too confusing.
