Pretty much that is how it is done.. MOST people use B for straight through and for crossover they use A on one end and B on the other end.
The only thing I might see you having problems with is if your wire is solid or stranded and if the connector is made for the one you don't have. There are video's all over YouTube that have people showing how to put one of those ends on. Or you can go to a supply houses website and they will have directions on the proper way to put the end on. http://www.lanshack.com/make-cat5E.aspx Hope this helps. Gus.
