How sure are we that he is Ned Stark's son?

As said, we're not. There's a pretty strong theory that points to him not being, lots of detail in the books but only minor suggestions in the show.

SPOILER from book 1 that was not in the show"












Tower of Joy scene in book 1 is the best evidence I can think of, but it was left out of the show entirely. It is a real shame because it was my favorite scene in all 5 books. It was a flash back to Ned Stark and 6 others going to the Tower of Joy where his sister was, protected by the 3 best kingsguards. Why would they be protecting Lyanna Stark instead of being with their king when he was besieged and betrayed? The logical explanation is they were protecting the unborn child, a Targaryen, son of Rhaegar.

The stories seemed shaky enough to question whether or not he was really a Stark. Ned was not a very good liar.

I've been on the R+L=J for a long, long time, which makes him a Stark, but not Ned's kid.

The only other serious possibility I am entertaining is that he is Ned and Ashara Dayne's kid (and possibly the new "Sword of the Morning") - but I have that much, much, much less likely than R+L=J.

I'm nearly 100% confident he's not Ned's son. Just listen to this, and tell me that everyone there was not beating around the bush that they all know that the rightful heir to the Seven Kingdoms is up those stairs on that tower: LINK

L+R=J became apparent in the first book honestly. First season of the show as well.
