You can forget about that one.
Do you mean to say that it'll probably be sold out by the time I land on the 18th?

Select date/date, then select the last option 在来線列車 of the drop down for " non shinkansen trains"
I tried that but all I got was this message in red:

入力された項目に誤りがあります。
「乗車駅」「降車駅」

According to Google translate, it says there's an input error.

These were my search parameters:

乗車月日 - 12/29
乗車時刻 - 23:00
お乗りになる列車 - 在来線列車
乗車駅・降車駅 - 姫路駅 (Himeji Station) > 東京駅 (Tokyo Station)

The time and station information is the Sunrise Seto section, via Hyperdia. Is the station information incorrect? I got the kanji for the stations from Google.
