I think I do the same on our project, that is "mangling"
LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH and EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.

On the Windows platform (for which we use VS generator)
We just do not add CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE mangling since Visual do it for us.

This is "just" a matter of
IF (WIN32)

in the CMakeLists.txt

You should be able to do this by testing the generator used
with the value of CMAKE_GENERATOR
