I know that these LGA/JFK flights are discouraged due to the pain of getting from one airport to another, but I know my way around NYC and am not concerned about it (especially since I have 10 hours to do it).
Yes, with an airport change like that your bag would only be checked to LGA. It's your responsibility to claim it at LGA and take it to JFK and check it in again.
