So I suppose you're putting the dpdt switch in for the 3.3V and 12V lines.
---(3.3)
---V V
|=X=X=X=|
|======-|
|=X=X=X=|
---/\ /\
---(12)
It's a horrible picture, but it kinda shows how it is.

No, the dpdt should be fine.
Also, you could use a spst and just use it to turn off the 12v line depending on if you're using a 3.3V regulator or a seperate pack for the 3.3V
