functions - Template Loop - add switch case php

My plugin template is currently as follows:

 if ( $query->have_posts() )
 {
    ?>
 <ul id="list-con">
    <?php
    while ($query->have_posts())
    {
        $query->the_post();

        ?>

        <li>
        <a id="floimg" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {the_post_thumbnail("mini-me");} ?><span class="flotnm"><?php the_field('fl_name'); ?></span></a>
        </li>

        <?php
    }
    ?>
 </ul>

I need to incorporate a switch statement inside the loop but I can't figure out the php syntax.

  <?php $curtype = get_post_type( $post->ID ); switch($curtype){
      case "firstcase":
        return <li> code as defined above
        break;
   case "secondcase":
        return some other <li> code as defined above
        break;
    }
   ?>

 if ( $query->have_posts() )
 {

 <ul id="list-con">
    <?php
    while ($query->have_posts())
    {
        $query->the_post();

        ?>

        <li>
        <a id="floimg" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {the_post_thumbnail("mini-me");} ?><span class="flotnm"><?php the_field('fl_name'); ?></span></a>

   case "secondcase":
        return some other <li> code as defined above
        break;
    }
   ?>
