This may not be the "proper" way to do things (I'm no expert), but it might 
work:

1. create a file called beamerswitch.el in the directory pointed to by your 
TeX-style-private variable;

2. in the file, put 
   (TeX-add-style-hook
        "beamerswitch"
        (lambda ()
         (TeX-run-style-hooks "beamer")))

3. repeat for beamerarticle.
