Here goes!
This is in order of how I pack, assuming you are staying at a three-star and above hotel with standard amenities. All go into the check-in luggage except for the ones specifically marked out as in the carry-on bag.
(A) Clothes
1. Outdoor clothes: 1 set per day + 1 or 2 extra sets just in case
2. Sleepwear: 1 set for every 2 days
3. Underwear (if needed): 1 piece per day, or bring kiddy detergent to wash if insufficient
4. Shoes: You might want to bring an extra pair of shoes or slippers / sandals
5. Kiddy socks: 1 pair for every 2 days
6. Swimwear if needed
(B) Pee, poo & bath-related
1. Diapers: Depends on your child + 2 - 3 extra pieces just in case. If traveling for a longer time, you can just buy it at your destination and bring along one or two day's worth
2. Portable potty / auxiliary toilet seat (if child is potty-trained)
3. Small-sized "no tears" shampoo + bath
4. Wet wipes: 2 small packs
5. Plastic / trash bags for soiled diapers
(C) Comfort-related
1. His / her pillow and / or well-loved toy
2. Entertainment: A couple of books, one or two other toys that the child chooses (and pack in a couple more as "surprise" without telling the child)
(D) Medicine
1. Fever, high fever, flu / cold, cough, diarrhoea medicines are my must-haves
2. Anti-vomitting medicine for countries with lower standards of hygiene
(F) Sun-related / elements-related (if going to a hot / beach destination)
1. Kiddy sunblock
2. Aloe vera gel
3. Kiddy body lotion
4. Mosquito repellant (spray, gel, patch etc)
(G) In the carry-on bag:
1. One extra set of outdoor clothes
2. One or two diapers
3. Wet wipes and tissue paper
4. Hand sanitiser
5. One small face cloth
6. One or two small plastic bags for soiled diapers, wet clothes etc
7. One small pack of biscuits / raisins / snack
8. Kiddy sunglasses (if needed)
9. Kiddy cap (if needed)
10. Toddler carrier (if needed)
11. Kiddy utensils (if visiting a country of lower standards of hygiene that you don't trust)

(D) Medicine

2. Anti-vomitting medicine for countries with lower standards of hygiene
3. Anti-septic cream which usually also doubles up as nappy rash cream
4. Mosquito bite cream to relieve the itch, though the anti-septic cream will work on reducing the bite as well
(E) Food-related
1. Milk (my kid likes drinking fresh milk) and any other beverages (eg. milo which my kid loves). A cooler bag is useful if you're bringing fresh milk, but do check on the destination's restrictions on bringing food and beverages in (eg. Australia)
2. Biscuits, raisins and any other products that can be stored easily

12. Kiddy food scissors
13. Kiddy waterbottle
14. One or two small toys / books etc as needed
15. And of course, don't forget kiddy's passport!
If it sounds like a lot of stuff in the carry-on bag (it is), make sure you get a lightweight but sturdy shoulder bag / baby bag to chuck everything in. I like this one here from Kate Spade, which also doubles up as a good travel bag for business trips as it can take a laptop and other stuff. Compartmentalise using smaller bags if needed to find things easily.
All the best!
