Hello! The tetra 3 gal is the best choice imo of the 3. If you don't want to go all out, then this hood and basic tank. Petsmart has small 5 lb bags of white or black sand if you don't want to do gravel and depending on what all you will have in you tank, I've found sand to be pretty easy to deal with when cleaning tanks. I'm a big fan of Hydor heaters and I've heard a lot of good reviews on Eheim too.
In all honesty, if you are able to go just a little bit bigger, I'd suggest a Fluval Spec V. I have 3 tanks and 2 of them are the Spec V's. They're sleek, have a nice pump that has not only adjustable flow, but has a directional nozzle, you can fit a Hydor heater next to the outtake tubing, and already has a light. If you get that with a heater, you can take a small bag of sand, the Sponge Bob pineapple home, some colorful silk plants, and a moss ball or two you'd be all set as a beginner and not have it take up much more room. If you do get a snail, perhaps your son would name it Gary? (the snail in Spongebob? haha not necessary but it is possible to have a vacuum to eat any leftovers the betta doesn't eat.)
Just remember that if you move a fish tank, you'll want to drain out some of the water to make moving easier as well as safer. I take it this will be pretty sudden so a fishless cycling won't really be a thing so please make sure to have betta water conditioner.
Good luck!
You can buy it here.
I think I found a nice one.

It won't tell me the dimensions though, so I have no idea if it'll fit on my desk.
yeah but only in dutch stores.
The zen 30 is probably above your budget (and you would still need a heater!) as Ive seen it for 60 euros at its lowest. https://www.bol.com/nl/p/superfish-zen-30-aquarium/9200000053378004/
I just found these on amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Aquarium-Tank-Glass-5-1-Gal/dp/B005VDO7QO/
note that the first still doesnt include a heater. And it's only 2 inches wider than that superfish zen 30 and 2 inches flatter as well. And half the price.
