Reciting Aaytul Kursi in the first rakaat and a surah in the second rakaat

Q: In fardh Salaat, is it appropriate to recite Ayatul Kursi in the first rakaat, and a Surah shorter than Ayatul Kursi in the second rakaat? For example, reciting Ayatul Kursi in the first rakaat, and either Surah Asr or Surah Ikhlaas in the second rakaat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
