I am from Sydney and so always have to do the midnight run to get back home and have done so with babies, toddlers and now children. My kids have never had a problem sleeping on the plane, my daughter is now 8 and our trip in September was the 1st time she walked onto the plane awake for the trip home.
I would make sure you have panadol and bottle/boob ready if needed. I never sleep well on the trip back home (didn't even before kids) so that part I think you will have to suck up and be prepared to just nap all the way home.
You will find travelling with a 6mth old easier than 14 mths but I wouldn't take back any of the trips we have had with our children.
Also disregard CFB, from previous comments they obviously think Bali should be child free, all I can think is that CFB's children and grandchildren are so feral you couldn't take them anywhere.
