I done some years ago.

To the best of my recollection I created a 3D pline by offsetting points from the stair treads (there's probably an easier way) ensuring a level section at at least one end, Placed the handrail outline exactly perpendicular to the level section, then as you say extruded along the pline.
I also got carried away and created full rope twist balusters, but by the time I copied these a hundred or so times up the stair the machine fell over.
