Whats wrong with my baby?

My 11mth old takes 2 naps a day, sometimes 1. I find that everytime i put him to bed at 7 or 8pm, hed wake up at 11pm, and stays up til 2am. Hed wake up and cry hysterically nonstop, until i get him up to stay up. Happens every FREAKEN night! Im guessing he just wants to stay up :/ Unless i put him to bed at 10 or 11pm, then he wont wake up and cry hysterically nonstop. Hed sleep for a good 9-10hrs, waking up crying 2x only. Whats wrong and any suggestion? The pediatrician suggested to let him cry it out, but my husband cant stand hearing him crying for a long time.
