To be very blunt the method you're using the easiest option you have when dealing with a pair of speakers and a headset.

This will save you from unplugging and plugging.

… or cheap USB audio adapter for either of speakers or headphones. This will let you choose default audio device from Windows (or your audio/video player if it supports such functionality).

Can't it be done at a software lever to switch the output from speaker and headphone ?Why it stops the sorround sound when we plug in the headphone ?

When you're using 3.5mm audio connection, usually it is wired to same audio circuit, You've said you have 2.0 speaker system - you can't have "surround" here. Some sound adapters have support for switchable output, but in your case add-on audio card is the most universal solution.

While listening to radio on mobile(in inbuilt radio antenna) we can switch the output between headset to speaker just by a click then why not in pc ?

Because PC audio circuit was not built like that.
