Is the Switch's 3rd Party Support a Major reason why the Switch is selling well?

I think they helped plenty. We have seen what happens when there's a lack of third party games with the wiiU but the switch's success certainly isn't only them either.

The way I see it is that one of the main reasons that people buy Nintendo consoles is to play Nintendo games. However there needs to be a buffer between their releases as Nintendo can't bring out a new game every month. While people wait however many months to play the next major Nintendo title, they need something to keep them occupied. So having third party games in between Nintendo games is a recipe for success. That + choosing Nvidia and making it portable were all excellent calls on Nintendo's part.
