Mr. Wright is correct as to questions to be asked. For an explanation of the relevant timelines governing jurisdiction, etc., see the article titled "The Basics of Family Law Jurisdiction," on the Published Works page of our firm web site, at http://www.willicklawgroup.com/published_works. For background on birth certificates and paternity actions, etc., see http://www.willicklawgroup.com/paternity.
But to answer the question you asked: no. In the absence of a court order, being violated, Nevada law does not provide for a "kidnapping" case wither civilly or criminally. If he is interested in having a relationship with this child, he should figure out which state has jurisdiction, and move to establish custody, visitation, and support accordingly.
He should probably seek consultation with an appropriate family law specialist. I would suggest starting your search with the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, the Nevada chapter of which can be viewed at http://www.aaml.org/go/fellows/fellows-by-state/?showResults=true&state=NV.
