To start a customised private bitcoin core blockchain, all i need to do is:

1) change the genesis block
2) change the timestamp of genesis block

is there anything else?

what do you mean by private bitcoin core chain?
1) bitcoin core it's just a client, so use bitcoin blockchain term.
2) do you want to fork bitcoin codebase? In this case you have to change more parameters than genesis block: port number, magic message number ect.
3) But if you just want to run private bitcoin blockchain for your own testing or something similar, you don't have to change anything Smiley just start daemon with -regtest option.
