DO NOT DO THIS, you likely won't wreck anything but I can't guarantee it.
IF the PS3 had component outputs built in you could use a simple composite cable (yellow/red/white RCA connectors on BOTH ends) to connect the two, but this is not the case.
The cable you are using for video now has the yellow/red/white connectors on one end, but has the square AV port on the other.
So if you hook it up the way you suggest you will be feeding composite video and analog audio signals into ports expecting component video signals, the voltage levels might be different enough that it could damage your TV (I doubt it, but I don't know for sure).
If you want to use component video, you have to get the proper cable to get the component out of your PS3 first regardless of what you are hooking it up to.

Thanks again for all your help.

Yeah that can be a pain. The PS3 has an optical output though so if your receiver has a free optical input you could use that for audio. Or some of the video cables I've seen are such that you can actually pull them apart to split. Or you can get some female/female RCA adapters and male/male RCA extension cords to run the audio back to the receiver.
