Unfortunately cyrek, thats an oversimplification.
The electron also has wave-like properties and cannot be regarded simply as a classical particle at typical momentums. The use of classical 'paths' to describe electrons is not particularly useful.
Regarding the state transition of bound electrons, the quantum system evolves in quanta only. Even if the electron itself had a time dependent energy evolution, by a linear superposition of states, the atom itself cannot evolve in intermediate 'steps'.
