Default Filing IFR to an airport not on the chart

I got my IFR ticket at Western Michigan University 2 weeks ago in a SR20 and did my 1st solo IFR flight last Saturday to a pancake breakfast in a C172. I have another pancake breakfast May 29th at the Plainwell airport in Michigan (ID is 61D, look it up SkyVector: Flight Planning / Aeronautical Charts or airnav.com) and I want to file IFR there too just so that I can get experience in the IFR system, but on my low enroute chart it doesn't show up on the chart.

My question is: Can I file IFR to an airport w/ no instrument approaches that is not shown on the chart? (I'm assuming I could file to it but would just have to list an alternate w/ a instrument approach even in severe VFR conditions since that's what the FAR's say to do for a airport listed on the chart w/ no published approaches)

Am I right in that assumption and if not what would the proper procedure be? The flight will be from BEH > 61D and then back.
