The purpose of the relay is to only use the courtesy circuit to actuate the relay. Nothing more. It'll only take like 0.1amps to actuate the relay depending on the amperage of the relay.
Get yourself a small project box and mount everything inside the box with only the wires coming out. Be sure to choose the appropriate sized wire and relay for the load you will be putting on it. Light duty wires can be used for the non-loaded side of the relay, but the load side will need to have wire large enough for the load.

Um... That isn't how a 5 pin relay works. A 5 pin relay has a normally closed pin and a normally open pin. When the relay is not energized, the NC pin is closed and the NO pin is open. When energized, the NC opens and the NO pin closes.

And all you need is a single throw switch and a SPST relay, but SPDT relays are more common. Do you know what you are going to be using for amperage? If you put in a 30amp fuse, I'd have atleast a 30amp relay... But you may want a relay that is rated for continuous duty or get a 60amp relay to beef it up.
