You could use the 'arch' command to run it in the selected config. Open the Applescript editor (in Applications/Utilities). Assuming you have Logic installed in the default location, put this in a script for 32-bit:

do shell script "arch -i386 '/Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro'"

and make another script for 64-bit:

do shell script "arch -x86_64 '/Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro'"

Next, click the Run button to see if this works. If so, click Save As, select File Format: Application, and save as Logic32.app or Logic64.app.

By the way, what plugins cause you to switch from 64 to 32 bit? Doesn't the 32-bit plugin bridge in 64-bit mode help?

Kind regards,
