This should be unnecessary.  In Layout->Document->Bibliography, put a 
check mark next to NatBib, which will get NatBib loaded.  On the same 
options screen, pick Author-year in the Cite Style drop-down list.

To insert a citation, use Insert->Citation Reference.  In that window, 
look for the Citation Style drop-down list.  It defaults to Author 
(year), but you can pick (Author, year) off the list.
