I assume your flight out of Narita leaves late afternoon (most flights to NA seem to)? If so, you should be able to go from Kyoto -> Narita -> home all in one day. A bit longer than Tokyo -> Narita -> home, but the only real difference is a 2.5 hour train ride.

We thought about that and we figured it may be easier on us to get settled back in Tokyo and sort of wind down a bit before we take the last train back to the airport. It's 6o minute from Tokyo and it's 256 minutes (4.3 hrs) with 1 transfer from Kyoto according to Hyperdia. We wanted to shorten our return trip home because with having to be at the airport early for International travel (about 3 hours) and then for the long flight home, may be a bit taxing, especially with my parents that are well into their 70's.
But I know what you mean, you still have to haul your luggage back to the hotel and out again.
