I think not.
The neck pickup is only grounded in positions 2 and 4. Hence, it would be silent in positions 3 and 5.

Do you have any suggestions to fix it? Is it possible to have the separate coils active through the pickup switch?

Re: Will this wiring scheme work?
Looking at the diagram again, I notice that you have drawn the neck PU green conductor to contact 2 but not contacts 3 and 5. The solution is to make a "jumper" connection on the switch that connects contacts 2, 3 and 5.
The other thing that I dislike is the way in which you have represented the red conductor of the neck PU as being divided before reaching the selector switch. In practice, the conductor is connected to contact 4 on the grounding side of the selector switch and a jumper connection made across to contact 2 of the neck PU signal side of the switch.
Finally, I'm not sure why you have drawn both the green and black conductors of the neck PU as going to contact 2?

I'll give you the ol' switch by numbers routine, where I refer to lugs by pole and contact. For example, P1.2 refers to pole 1, contact 2. I'll use the same numbers you have above. Both greens (and bares) are hard wired to ground.
P1.C = neck white
P1.1 = open
P1.2 = open
P1.3 = neck red, jumpers to P1.5 and P2.2
P1.4 = ground
P1.5 = jumper from P1.4
P2.C = output
P2.1 = open
P2.2 = jumper from P1.3
P2.3 = jumper to P2.4
P2.4 = jumper to P2.5 and jumper from P2.3
P2.5 = neck black and jumper from P2.4
P3.1 = open
P3.2 = bridge red, bridge white, and jumper to P3.4
P3.3 = open
P3.4 = jumper from P3.2
P3.5 = open
P3.C = ground
P4.1 = bridge black, jumper to P4.2
P4.2 = jumper from P4.1 and jumper to P4.3
P4.3 = jumper from P4.2 and jumper to P4.4
P4.4 = jumper from P4.3
P4.5 = open
P4.C = output
