I lived in Darwin region for 13 years and was over in the West Macs/Uluru etc 18 months ago.
I would spend a little less time at Kings (only need two days IMHO) and Uluru (only need two days IMHO) and drive from Alice to Darwin
That way you can also see
Devils Marbles,
Mataranka (I would suggest staying O/N at Mataranka, Katherine or Adelaide River) Hot Springs, Elsey Homestead, Mataranka Caves
Katherine Gorge is a MUST see IMHO and I would do a Chopper ride there rather than Kings Canyon if I had to choose
Adelaide River WW11 sites if that spins your wheels
Darwin Region...
Litchfield is better/easier/quicker to enjoy than Kakadu hands down
A jumping croc cruise suits a lot of people
The Darwin Military museum, the NT Musuem and Art Gallery/Fannie Bay and the Aviation Museum (only B52 Bomber outside the US) are all pretty bloody awesome (google them)
Territory Wildlife Park is world class (do at the same time as Litchfield)
Sunset Cruise on Darwin Harbour (I used to drive the boat for that and the Jumping Crocs waaaaay back)
Bottom line is the N.T. is terrific and no matter how long you stay you a) won't have enough time and b) will be busting to go back
