The above looks fine to me except for the "potion of keed edge".

12th: +3 plate (9,000 gp), +1 frost composite longbow (+5 Str bonus)(8,900 gp), amulet of health +2 (4,000 gp), gauntlets of ogre power (4,000 gp), +1 frost greatsword (8,350 gp), potion of haste (750 gp). Total: 35,000/35,000 gp*

I'd drop the frost from the longbow and use the 6K that's saved on a +2 cloak of resistance and a +1 ring of protection.

Drop the +6 belt of giant strength to a +4 cloak and use the 20K saved to buy a +3 cloak of resistance, a +2 ring of protection for the Knight and horseshoes of speed for his/her steed.

There's also a "cloak or resistance" in the 8th level one.

Shouldn't it be an oil of keen edge? It would also be nice to have the potions be cumulative, but then we'll be going over budget a little.

Yes I know, there isn't anything wrong with that though, is there?

Oh, however I just realized there is something wrong with my proposed +3 cloak of resistance for the 16th level one - it's already got a cloak of minor displacement. We can't have two cloaks!

Swap the cloak of resistance and horseshoes of speed for boots of speed?

Yes, it should be oil of keen edge, not potion.
 


Updated (whew!)

For the feats, start with Weapon Focus (greatsword) and Weapon Specialization (greatsword), then move on to the greater versions as they meet the prereqs? Throw Improved Critical (greatsword) into the mix beginning with 8th level? Maybe some bow feats and those from the Mounted Combat chain?
 

For the captain, then:

WF (greatsword), Point-Blank Shot, Mounted Combat, Power Attack, Ride-By Attack, WS (greatsword)?
