Default Wiring Up Cabinet Halogens

As part of my kitchen remodeling project, I am planning on installing
"hockey puck" halogens inside the tops of 3 of the wall cabinets that
have glass doors and glass shelves for display. These are full 110v
lamps, not 12v bulbs with a transformer. I do NOT want to run the
wires thru the bottom of the cab and plug them into an outlet...I
wanted to have them switched thru a normal wall box and light
switch.

These lights are wired with 18g "lamp cord". Is there any code reason
why I can't run it behind the drywall and into the switch box (of
course running it thru studs like romex)? I have not yet installed
the drywall and have full access to the studs. As long as the
connections end in a standard box, is there a problem?
