So the big, big important question you have to ask first and foremost is "what are my models actually HOLDING?"

See in your codex how each unit can take several varied upgrades? Particularly a dude like the daemon prince is going to have loads of options. So take a look at the models you have and try to identify any "special weapons" by comparing with your codex. Usually, a normal squad (say, your blood letters) will all just have one kind of weapon, with maybe a seargeant holding something else (I am not a daemons player, so I'm not certain here, but that's normally what you expect to see).

Once you know that you can calculate how many points each thing is going to cost. Now, with some models (again, we come to your little Prince Charming) you have options that may not necessarily be reflected on the physical model that you can denote with a nice custom paint job. Like let's say I want to give Machiavelli the Daemon Prince a really fancy relic sword of space marine evisceration, I could paint the regular sword you get on the Prince some suitably cool purplish color and model it as such.

As for the specifics, I'm afraid I don't know much more than "anyone who can take wings as an option and fly around definitely should, and daemon armies usually take psychic units that summon more of the regular old daemons to the table." That's the extent of my knowledge of daemon list building.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"
