Nonlinear 2D materials such as 3R-phase molybdenum disulfide (3R-MoS2) offer strong second-order optical nonlinearities in an atomically thin platform, making them attractive for on-chip frequency conversion, quantum light generation, and integrated nonlinear nanophotonics. However, the second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of monolayer or few-layer 3R-MoS2 deposited on planar substrates remains fundamentally limited by weak light-matter interaction, poor phase matching, and small interaction volumes. Here, we introduce NanoPhotoNet-PINL, a physics informed AI-driven inverse design framework based on a hybrid one-dimensional convolutional neural network and deep neural network autoencoder, tailored for nonlinear MLMs metasurfaces. The model directly maps target dual-resonant reflection spectra at the fundamental and second-harmonic wavelengths to the required multi-layer geometries and material compositions that maximize the effective nonlinear overlap with an embedded 3R-MoS2 sheet. By integrating Maxwell-based nonlinear electrodynamics into the inverse design loop, we compute the second-harmonic conversion efficiency and modal overlap factors for each predicted MLMs design, enabling physics-guided training and evaluation. Our approach achieves an inverse-design prediction efficiency exceeding ~99.2 % along the linear spectral manifold, while the optimized dual-resonant MLMs yield more than three orders of magnitude enhancement in SHG intensity compared to a bare 3R-MoS2 flake on a planar substrate. NanoPhotoNet-PINL establishes a generalizable paradigm for intelligent inverse design of nonlinear multi-layer metasurfaces and phase-matched dual-resonant cavities for high-efficiency second-order processes.
