Seems like a lot of back and forth flying with a 2 year old. If you had 210,000 AA miles you could fly the following route:
PEK-NRT-HNL (11 hours 35 minutes) stop for a week or two?, HNL-DFW-MCI (9 hours 50 minutes)
MCI-DFW-SFO (6 hours 25 minutes) stop for a few days?, SFO-HKG-PEK (19 hours 5 minutes)
If you want to stop at a second place in North America (in addition to HNL) before going to MCI, you would need to book a revenue ticket from that city to MCI. You could also replace the SFO stop on the return with LAX or half a dozen other major cities.
Whatever MR points you can pull together could be used for hotels.
