Operator Norm Question

Suppose I am interested in operators $T:Xto Y$, with $X$ and $Y$ both separable Hilbert spaces. The operator norm of such $T$ can then be taken as
$$
|T| = sup_{|x|_Xleq 1}|Tx|_Y.
$$
Since the spaces are separable, there exists a sequence ${x_n}$ and ${y_m}$ dense in the unit balls of $X$ and $Y$. It would appear then, that we can write
$$
|T|=sup_{n}sup_m |(Tx_n,y_m)_Y| = sup_{m}sup_n |(Tx_n,y_m)_Y|.
$$
In the above, I am representing the $Y$ norm as
$$
|y|_Y = sup_{|tilde y|leq 1}|(y,tilde y)_Y|
$$
Is there anything wrong with this intuition?

Your equation
$$
|T|=sup_{n}sup_m |(Tx_n,y_m)_Y| = sup_{m}sup_n |(Tx_n,y_m)_Y|.
$$
is indeed correct.
It works because the relevant norms are continuous and because of the density of the sequences in the unit balls.
