Not exactly the same, but I hope useful.
This is how I do something similar:

> cat .xsession G xk
    setxkbmap -layout us,us_intl -rules xorg -model pc105 -option -option grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll,lv3:lwin_switch,lv3:rwin_switch,ctrl:nocaps,compose:menu

Explanation:
    grp:shifts_toggle togle with the two shifts pressed at the same time
    between us and us_intl layout
    ctrl:nocaps caps is ctrl
    grp_led:scroll switch the led scrooll on when the second layout
    (us_intl) is active
    compose:menu the windows menu key is the compose key
    ...
