The wiring of the multimeter will handle what it is designed to handle. There are usually separate jacks for the positive lead for measuring "high" current. It will be labeled 10A max or some such, depending on the meter.
Put the + lead in the correct jack and neg. lead in the COM jack and select the proper current range on the meter and then do what you said.
