Your small capacitance values to measure with the large resistance will also have to contend with stray capacitance as well as the input impedance of the A/D input. If you stick with this idea, consider adding a very low bias current op amp follower before the A/D input. Your errors should be not too difficult to approximate. Typically, the A/D converter will spec a minimum source impedance for whatever is setting the voltage on the input. Perhaps start there. Again, much of this goes away with a voltage follower with very low bias current buffering the capacitance to be measured. Then, calibrate away the stray capacitance.
