I wanted to post the solution for anyone else who might stumble across
this thread, turns out to be very simple.

<form name="theform" action="oops.htm" method="get">
<input name="one" value="type something here...">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="first"
onClick="document.theform.action='first.htm';">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="second"
onClick="document.theform.action='second.htm';">
</form>
