It is too late for your playthrough. Once Fournival's dead, he can't ask you to babysit his daughter. You can complete the two Idol quests by handing them a Silver or Bronze.

At any rate, don't worry too much about it. The extra inventory Caxton upgrades with the Gold Idol are not as good as anything in the Everfall and Bitterblack Isle. I didn't give him a Gold Idol until my second playthrough (I sat in the Knowledge Chair accidentally while I was escorting Simone, which pissed her off), and by then the other weapons and armor I had were significantly better. Madeleine's Gold Idol stock is the same way.
