Combining those colors above would not give you white, nor would combining all the colors in the visible spectrum. You would actually get black.
Combining different colored light would indeed give you white light (specifically, red, blue and green). It's called additive color mixing.

You're thinking of subtractive color mixing, which occurs when combining dyes, paints, filters, etc.
