I recall a documentary discussing the large Hadron collider, the study of the first moments following the big bang, and the potential concern for the creation of black holes. Is it theoretically possible for an amateur physicist to build their own on a smaller scale?

Everything is theoretically possible, that’s one of the beauty’s of studying physics in an practically infinite universe. With enough time, everything isn’t just possible, but everything will happen. There’s a reason scientists don’t deal in possibilities, but probabilities.
But that isn’t really something suitable for a 5yo
Particle accelerators use powerful electro magnets to speed up and control particles. Particles are quite literally everywhere, and electro magnets aren’t rare either. You could build a functional model with some dedication and YouTube tutorials.
Building one that’s actually capable of influencing specific particle beams is a different matter, and would take years (if not decades) of hard work and relentless study. Using that to create a black hole would be even more difficult, and obviously a terrible idea.
