Question:
Is it acceptable to purchase and combine tickets this way? What problems might I run into?

Thanks!
This construction is called end-on-end and allowed for most fares. You may check the fare rules. If an end-on-end construction is not permitted the tickets are treated as two separate tickets with all consequences like baggage claim and re-checking in etcetc.
