Matt;
It used to be that "go to layout" forced browse mode, but it no
longer seems to do this. I've tested "go to current record" and it
seems to work when FileMaker is in both Find or Layout mode.
I explained the reason I don't want to do this via a FileMaker script
in another posting, but essentially I want to minimize the
interactions between 1 FileMaker application and N FileMaker
databases that all share the same interface to the common application
via a set of global fields and a configurable script name.

First of all, go to current record will do it:
The Apple Events.fp7 database says that "go to" switches the
database to browse mode if it's in Layout or Preview mode, but not
if it's in Find mode. It also says that using "go to" with a
request shifts the database into Find mode.
If you prefer something more explicit, there's a two-step way to do it:
1) Create a FileMaker script that has only one ScriptMaker step,
"Enter Browse Mode". Call the script something simple like "Force
Browse Mode".
2) In AppleScript:
do script FileMaker script "Force Browse Mode"
