I use, after editing:

# dpkg-reconfigure console-setup ; service console-setup restart
# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration ; service keyboard-setup restart

and for reasons that might be cargo-cult, out-of-date, or whatever,
I do this while X is not running. This is straightforward if you
just login and then run startx (as I do), rather than running a
Display Manager, which starts X before you login.

If it still doesn't work, there are threads on debian-user from
people who regularly use language layout switching, so a search
from:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/

might find you some help.

Cheers,
David.
