If you reopen the event editor for your son's birth, are the dates and
place visible there?

What role appears at the top of the event editor, for your son? If it is
not 'Primary' then his birth date won't appear in People View.

I doubt that you would ever have to do that.

What do you mean? That you can't open an event editor for your son?

A good way to go about solving such a problem is to create another
family tree as a place to test your methods. You can then play around to
your heart's content, without worrying about making a mess. What you do
in one family tree shouldn't affect any other.
