"Two-sided" will not give you multiple columns. It changes the default
margins and placement of page numbers so the document can be printed up
double-sided, bound on the left, and have the page numbers and margins
appropriately arranged.
What you want is the multicolumn package. I do this with ERT, but
perhaps it could be added to LyX -- although I don't think you would
want to display it that way within LyX; it'd be a mess with the margins.
There is a setting within LyX to set the entire document as a "two
column document", in Document > Settings > Text Layout, but I use the
ERT to set parts of the document as multi-column, and this way you can
set up as many columns as you want.
Add \usepackage{multicol} to your preamble. Then, when you want to turn
on multi-column (3 column in this case) text, enter
\begin{multicols}{3} in ERT, and then \end{multicols} to return to
single-column layout.
