There is already a command ispell-change-dictionary which does
everything that needs to be done when a dictionary is changed.  I
think you just need to invoke it.  If doing that during
flyspell-buffer somehow causes trouble, then do it after exiting
flyspell-buffer, then reinvoke flyspell-buffer or something.
