Crediting segments on same ticket to different *A FF program

I have a ticket coming up where I'd like to be able to credit at least one segment to AC, while crediting the longer segments to UA. Details as follows:

Air NZ Issued ticket for YYC to RAR
YYC-LAX on AC (hoping to credit to AC)
~26 hour stopover in LAX
LAX-RAR on NZ (hoping to credit to UA)
Return flight is RAR-LAX on NZ, connecting to LAX-YYC on AC (~3 hour connection in LAX)

Ideally I'd like to be able to credit at least one of the AC segments to AC so I can potentially use AC eupgrades and earn a few AC miles, but I need the longer segments credited to UA. I'm hoping the stopover on the outbound flight makes this a bit easier to be able to credit these separately, as I'd have ~26 hours between flights, so I'll need to check in separately for the flights. Any thoughts or experience on whether I'll be able to credit the AC segment separately, particularly for the outbound flight?
