Not sure if this would work. If you connect the LED in parallel to the switch you're creating a pathway for current to flow from pad to pad, which might cause the board to always read the switch as held down. And then when the switch is pressed the LED would likely turn off because current would prefer the path of least resistance (not a big deal for a momentary switch, but still something to keep in mind).
