If he's only going to be playing at home - at least to begin with - then I'd put the money into the keyboard and the useful extras like a good stand and some decent music books or a few lessons.
It's easy to run the keyboard through a regular stereo and the sound will be everything you need without the huge volume. The Yamaha's have a EQ setting that you can use to match the output to various scenarios - headphones, external amp etc - and by adding a small mixer he'll have a perfect way to mix output from the keyboard with a PC, mp3 player or other instruments (like your guitars)
I'd wait on the amp until he's familiar with the keyboard and decides if he's ever going to play outside of the house. By then he'll most likely know what he wants cos he'll be on the forums like his old man.
