Hi! I know there will be DISers much more experienced than I who will respond, but I got here first!
Your kids are just a tiny bit older than mine. My youngest will be celebrating his 4th b-day while we are there. My first thought would be how tall is your youngest? If he is 40" then he is good to go height-wise. Then you just have to decide on how he is for the 'scare' factor.
If you go to the Disney website, you can make a personalized map showing all the places you want to see, and you can read about each one, and there are some videos/photos of all of the rides, too.

Happy Planning!

Oh, and don't forget to pick up a Birthday Button at guest services!

Definitely utilize fast passes. For your little one, I recommend not missing Philharmagic, Pirates (if he doesn't scare easily), Buzz Lightyear. As for Crystal Palace, it is on the left hand side once you pass through Main Street. It is right near the first aid station, so keep an eye out for the red and white umbrellas.

1. Arrive at MK for rope drop
2. Head to Fantasyland for all attractions (especially Philharmagic)
3. If son really is interested, check out Toontown
4. Head to Tomorrowland for Buzz Lightyear, Monster Laugh Factory, and Transit Authority
5. Cross over into Adventure Land for choices that would suit your son to ride and toward Crystal Palace.
6. If able, be sure to watch the afternoon parade and get some rest.
7. The night activities are not to be missed (parade and fireworks)
8. There are also several attractions that allow some rest during the day.
(We always go back to resort (Fort Wilderness campground) to rest in the middle of the day, but obviously you won't have that luxury)
Have a great day and don't forget to get a Happy Birthday button for your son; sometimes that gets you a couple of extra perks.

Do not, I repeat, Do Not leave MK without getting a pineapple float at Aloha Isle in Adventureland! No trip to MK is complete without a stop (or maybe 2) at Aloha Isle!
