Is my laptop HP pavilion notebook 15 ab063tx compatible with the backlit keyboard? I intend to replace the origin keyboard with backlit keyboard.

Theoretically yes. See pages 23-25 of the Manual here:
HP only offers a replacement keyboard as part of the whole top cover and it will be pricey. After I point that out I frequently get the comeback telling me there are keyboard only replacements available on eBay. Yes, but what the sellers do not tell you is that the keyboard is tightly integrated into the top cover with plastic rivets that have to be melted to remove the old keyboard then remelted to hold in the new one. Very hard to do correctly and a few have reported trying it and the keyboard fits loose in the top cover or has performance issues.
