Your will is the last thing you say on Earth. When it "speaks," it is beyond fixing, because the only person who can change the will is the person who made it, and that person is gone when the will is read. It doesn't cost that much to get a lawyer to help, compared to the impact of getting something wrong (and we see it all the time).

How can I guarantee that all the assets my spouse inherited from our marriage go to our child and not to the new spouse if I die first?

You can't. You and your husband can do a unified estate plan, including a "contact not to change the will." This won't stop your spouse from getting re-married, in which case the new spouse will have an "elective share" claim in spouse's estate, so at least some of your joint assets go to new spouse. Also, your spouse could change the will, leaving your child with a breach of contract action against his parent, which many people won't exercise. You should see an estate planning lawyer to get this put together as well as it can be put together.
