We took our two children last year to Paris over the Easter hols. We stayed at the Hotel Gustave which is close to the Eiffel Tower, it's reasonably priced for Paris, gets great reviews on TripAdvisor and the hotel has interconnecting rooms which was a must for us and hard to find. Also, the kids loved being able to see the Eiffel Tower as soon as we stepped out of the hotel.
We stayed for three nights, which I think was the right amount of time. With young children I think it's best just to plan to do one main thing per day as a city break is really tiring for them, if you achieve more it's a bonus! The main things we did was going up the Eiffel Tower which basically takes half a day with all the queuing, a boat trip along the Seine, lots of wandering around and on the last day we went up to the Sacre Coeur as that's fairly close to the Gare du Nord for catching the train back home.
Enjoy, my kids loved their first city break in Paris and has resulted in us planning another one to Barcelona this Easter.
