Since Night Monkeys don't eat eggs and they eat insects, leaves, and fruit, I guess this would make a good combination.

In fact , hardly any data exists on the dietary requirements of night monkeys , even if it's known that they are frugivorous . Some references , mention that they may eat eggs some don't .

Nightjars usually need a lot of room to fly and find food and I don't think that could be accomplished while also acquiring the needs of the the monkeys as well. With all that room in a night house they would be almost useless because nobody would see them.

Can I mix Golden Headed Lion Tamarins, Linne's Two-Toed Sloth, and a Three-Banded Armadillo?

Yes, just make sure that all climbing structures are rather tall, so the sloth can get away from the tamarins if stressed (although slowly).

Right now I'm planning on making a jungle themed indoor building with a river between a South American and African section. In the African section I want indoor exhibits for Pygme Hippopotamus, Eastern Bongos and Red River Hogs. Those three animals will have an outdoor exhibit but I want to add Ring-tailed Lemurs inside. Is it possible to let them roam around in trees which stand in the exhibits of the Hippos, Bongos and Hogs?

Also another question. Can I put Chilean Flamingos with Capybaras inside?

I guess theoretically it would work to put the lemurs together with the other species. In reality no zoo would Display lemurs in that way because they are endemic to Madagascar (no Bongos, Hogs or Hippopotamuses there).

For the Chilean Flamingos: If the indoor area is big enough, there should be no problem. The combination of Capybaras and Flamingos is shown for instance at Hagenbeck's zoo in Hamburg where the Capybaras can roam the whole zoo.

Just sayin' there are feral pigs on Madagascar and hippos once lived there as well.

But still it wouldn't be a depiction of the fauna of Madagascar of today.

I'm fairly certain there isn't a single zoo I know that keeps every single animal in a geographically correct way, to be fair...

Either way, I don't think I've ever seen any lemur with any large terrestrial mammal, but I'm fairly certain it'd work out fine!

In Salzburg, Austria, ring-tailed lemurs share a stable with white rhinos. It works well, so I don't see any problems with hippos.

Would it be possible to keep various species of tree kangaroo (Matschie's, Goodfellows or Dingiso) together, and what other New Guinea species could also be used

I wouldn't do that simply because there is a risk of hybridization among the different species. The Cleveland Zoo and the Philadelphia Zoo each had a tree kangaroo hybrid so it is possible. As for other species in the exhibit, birds and small mammals are good.

Could I possibly keep tree kangaroos with dwarf cassowaries as long as they have means of escape (I.e. Climbing structures) and a seprate area that only they can reach?
