I have been making both chicken and veal parm like this for over 40 years. I thought I was the only one who layered it in a cassarole dish. A couple of things I do differently, I add parsley to the bread crumbs and parm cheese, And I coat the veal in the bread crumbs first, then egg, and then bread crumbs again this makes the bread crumbs to sitck. Try it!
