You don't "need" the jack - you could just use a pair of the 0.1" headers and a 2-way socket. But horses for courses.
You don't need independent X/Y/Z inputs - you could wire all microswitches, normally-closed contacts in series. Or, keep it simple and wire each pair for each axis in series.
I would recommend reading the Mach3 manual - it deals with this quite well. In particular read up on homing switches and soft-limits.

Just re-read your reply now I am confused, limit switches, homing switches and soft limit switches?
