Yes but playing Fortnite online on PS4 is free as PS+ is not required (I assume it's the same on Xbox).
The question is: Is this going to be free too on Switch or will it be locked behind their paywall? That's what we don't know yet. Time will tell.

You need Xbox live gold to play Fortnite on XBox, the other platforms all don't require an online subscription (yet)
For ps4 it doesn't really matter (to me) as I have ps+ and my kids can play on the primary console with their account regardless (yet it is convenient they can use their own account to play Fortnite on the pro which is my secondary) however I don't plan on getting Nintendo live (or whatever it will be called) I'm just curious if I should warn him about leveling up his character on Switch instead of ps4. I don't think he cares anyway, does it make any difference in the game?

Oh so on Xbox you must have Gold? So this is an advantage to the PS4 as it does not require PS+ to play Fortnite. A strategic mistake from Microsoft in my opinion.
In any case you and your kids should choose which platform you'd rather play the game on, which one is more convenient because as things are, they must choose one and won't be able to play on the other (Unless you guys create a new Fortnite account on Switch and use two accounts or something).
Though it is worth mentioning that this backlash could pressure Sony into giving up on their cross-play limitations, time will tell.
