The best way is to let the switch format it. That way it's 100% compatible then.

The Switch can auto-format up to a 2TB MicroSD (which does not exist quite yet) as long as it hasn't recieved any partitions. Nintendo consoles use FAT32 allocations, but again, a formatted MSD will be automatically set up once plugged in. And if you copy files from one Switch Micro SD onto a new formatted drive, that new drive will be automatically set up for the Switch. I just swapped out my 64GB for a 200GB and after copy/pasting the files, everything worked again.
