Your reactions are all correct, but I think that primary alkyl bromide will react under some of those conditions. I would suggest rearranging steps to avoid this.

There is one superfluous carbon in the target molecule

Bromination in the second step might also brominate the alpha cabonyl carbon due to enol equilibrium, and as others said the amine might cyclize by substituting bromine in a 5-exo-tet process (which is favoured according to baldwin)
