Yes, this is a task well suited to AJAX. Perhaps look at AjaxCFC (the JQuery version) or mxAjax so that you get an integrated CF solution out of the box.
As I use mxAjax, I'd use the mxData component to run a CFC method that returns values based on those dropdowns; then I'd write the new data into the last dropdown (perhaps with the DOM or with innerHTML).
