At 20 months, you are definitely right to want the procedure done in a hospital. I believe there are Orthodox moyles who are also urologists and will do the ceremony in the hospital. However, it might be difficult to find an Orthodox moyle who will do the ceremony if you do not plan to raise the child Orthodox. We wanted to have an Orthodox conversion for our daughter for the same reasons you listed, but found it would be too difficult to arrange and are having Reform rabbis officiate instead.
Keep in mind that, should your child want to marry someone who cares about who did his bris, he can have the ceremony done again by an "acceptable" rabbi. If someone is already circumcised, the ceremony only involves a pinprick.
Also, don't forget the conversion, if you want everything to be kosher. He'll have to go to the mikveh, in addition to the bris.
Best wishes for a safe and easy trip and a happy result!
