Probably not. I don't think you can stamp a passport other than the one you are using to seek entry into the country.

Are we assuming the landing country is the USA here?

@GayotFow I think we're assuming that the landing country (country C) is Switzerland or Liechtenstein, given that the quoted entry requirements are purported to be those of Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Most western countries don't care about free or used pages and just stamp where they feel like (if at all); sometimes forty stamps on the same page.

The US Department of State doesn't really do a good job of describing other countries' entry requirements. A better source is the Swiss government itself, which makes no mention of blank passport pages.
Furthermore, the Schengen Borders Code, which discusses stamping of passports, says nothing about blank pages.
The chance of getting a passport stamp in the passport of country A is virtually nil. Far more likely, the officer will put the stamp in the margins of the country B passport, or overlapping other stamps. Image searches show that this practice is quite common.
The safest thing to do in this case is to get a new passport for country B.

Yes, do not bother with country A passport. Look at my old passport, at the end not only did the stamps overlap but they were stamping over the visa itself making the stamp practically unreadable. goo.gl/photos/BcTELScRuZvhDqk27
