the joy of kids or kids' ??
Not just this specific example but I'm more curious about the structure. Will it be used like in these : 'this heart of mine', 'a friend of his' ? What is the general rule? Thanks :)

Are you asking about the difference between kids and kids' with the apostrophe? Because kids' means possessive and has to be followed by an object. In that sentence, you would have to use "the joy of kids" without the apostrophe.

I am a friend of his.
He has stolen this heart of mine.
Late nights are part of the joy of kids.
These are correct but uncommon usage. You'd be more likely to hear:
He's my friend.
He has stolen my heart.
