How i wish that would be possible, but no, you cant tell your pets wich power to pick.
The only thing you can do to somehow force them abit into swapping to melee fights is to move them closer to the mob with the goto command. Often they remain ranged fighting on the mob they targeting, but after they swap to a new one they tend to go melee again.
For ranged->melee, if you are standing from a distance with your pets, just tell them to attack it and 9/10 times they start off with a ranged attack. Unfortunatly you cant tell them what to do first, if their melee attack was 'queed up' they just run in and start melee.

I've been asked this many times over by people who know I create binds on the fly ingame before now, and I'm sorry to say as Synergy_X said, it's not exactly possible, due to the mechanics of the binding/macro-command system.
Hell, making some powers work automatically on a certain henchman' is a pain it itself 
But no.. it's not possible, other than what Syn has said already.
i like to send the boys in but i dont get to select my stalker, they select themself and its simply whoevers got in there.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
i'm interested if there is posiblity to bind let's say t2 hench's (jounin in this case) an ability on a button to be used whenever i like not AI (placate)? and/or to force t1 henches (ninjas) to attack on melee always or bind a button to do so instad of normal attacking where they first try ranged then get closer.
