Halfling Build (Please Help!)

[Ashiel_Dragmire]

I have yet to roll a Halfling, and I didn't really want to. Unfortunately, my one friend plays a Halfling Rogue (so cliche!), and I thought it would be cool to play his younger brother. Originally I didn't want to go Rogue (seeing as I consider Halfling Rogues as cliche as Elven Rangers), but I realized that there are so many halfling rogues because that's what they are good at.

Anyway, I wanted to make a somewhat DPS Halfling Rogue/Ranger hybrid that can still do such things as Disable Traps, Pick Locks, and all that fun stuff. So I set out to create this:

I realize that it is most likely not perfect (first time I'm planning out a Multiclass and using Halfling), but I like what I think it is capable of. Seeing as it's more of a flavor class that I'll be playing alongside my friend, it doesn't need to be the best, min/maxed thing out there. He's going to dual wield kukris, sneak around and slice things up, and occasionally disable a trap or open a lock. The levels in Ranger will allow him to use Cure Wands without a problem, and UMD should allow him to handle a fair assortment of wands and other magical devices.

So anyway, help would be appreciated. I want to keep the main essence of what I've got here intact, but I'm listening if you all have better ideas (which I'm sure you do).

EDIT: Added the two Feats I had forgotten about, which helps make this build a lot better. Thank you Psyryn.
