Or a way that would work using a boolean instead of trimming would be to form a cutting object like this:



Then extrude your profile curves so that they go a little past the cutting surface:



Select the main object, run Boolean difference and select the cutting surface for the cutting object. That will divide it into 2 pieces, discard this piece:



And you'll have this left over:
