A pretty idea, but planetary orbits in a multi star system are pretty hard. You either have to orbit in close enough to one of the stars that the other star doesn't destabilize your orbit, or you have to orbit far enough out that you orbit the center of mass for all of the stars involved.
As a side note... While not quite the same we have observed some pretty cool orbits around the super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Galactic_centre_orbits.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Galactic_centre_orbits.sv... (I doubt any of those stars have planets either. Each time they go wizzing by each other or the black hole the planets would be flung off. Pretty chaotic mess in there :D)
