3 pickup wiring question.

Strat style guitar.  3 pickups, regular 5 way switch.  I want a VOLUME on the neck and middle, a second VOLUME on the bridge pickup, and a master TONE.  All 500k pots.  Anyone have a diagram for this? I know very little about wiring - I normally just follow the SD diagrams, but I can't find one for this.

Thanks!
 
This should do it.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.  I don't have a switch in front of me.

Wouldn't that make it impossible to select between the neck and middle?  Seems like they would both either be on or off.
 
It should work fine in terms of the neck and mid pickups being individually selectable, or combine-able.  The 5-way switch takes care of which pickups are selected; the pots just limit the signal coming out.
