That's a little tight... which type of corydora? I know you say albino but albino is just the colour pigmentation; there are several types of corydoras and some are bigger than others. Try to get smaller ones, like julii or sterbai. And you really ought to get more than 2, as they are schoolers.
Platies are also pretty big fish. I know they look small in the store, but you can expect them to get 1-2", I've even seen 4" ones!

I think this would be better:
4 corydoras julii or sterbai
1 siamese fighting fish
3 platies (one male, two females)

A 10 gallon is pretty small, and you have to keep that in mind. Bettas (siamese fighting fish) also do better with a decent amount of territory. Just make sure you keep up with weekly water changes and that you cycle your tank before putting fish in it :)

Platy, mollies, rasboras, danios and tetras may be advantageous for 10 gal. you need to save round 6 or 7. do not upload all 6 promptly commence with only one or 2 to cycle the tank, or use flora. good luck!

the rule of thumb is one inch per fish per gallon, the key with a new tank is not to overcrowd the tank , b/c it does cycle the ph and amonia can spike , with what you already have that is fine , you could actually add a couple more mollies , platys or tetras , but make sure you have proper filtration and do not over feed them

before adding fish, find out about "cycling" you tank, or will kill them all.
