A search is performed for the charmless three-body decays of the $\Lambda_b^0$ and $\Xi_b^0$ baryons to the final states $\Lambda h^+h^{\prime -}$, where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi$ or $K$. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3 \rm fb^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions, collected by the LHCb experiment. The $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda K^+\pi^-$ and $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda K^+K^-$ decays are observed for the first time and their branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetry parameters are measured. Evidence is seen for the $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda \pi^+\pi^-$ decay and limits are set on the branching fractions of $\Xi_b^0$ baryon decays to the $\Lambda h^+h^{\prime -}$ final states.
