Diazepam: Diazepam/ Valium is very sedating. Although you could add in a milligram of Melatonin - I wouldn't do that without seeing how you respond to Diazepam first. If you are highly sedated - the melatonin may be unnecessary. See you have a 9 hour flight. Would not take Melatonin unless you can devote a full 8 of those hours to sleep.
