3 lights shouldn't be an issue, depending on what else is on the circuit with the other two. If the circuit that you are adding the lights to still has room, (I'm assuming here that its a 15 amp circuit with 14/2 wire, a 15 amp circuit can carry only a total of 1440 watts, which is 80% of 1800 watts) The 3 lights you want to add would be adding a max of 300 watts, based on 100w bulbs. Then as long as you know which wires are going where, its just a matter of disconnecting the wire supplying the first light in the circuit (I would remove that wire completely from the junction box it comes from or direct from the panel), and joining it to one of the other light boxes.
Just make sure you dont bury any junction boxes or wires as it would violate code. If you are doing a remodel, I would rip everything out and start fresh, that's what I did, and you would be surprised what you find. That is of course assuming that its feasible. If not I agree with those that said just interrupt the circuit with a switch. You could even gang the switches together in the same box.
