You are absolutely correct that for your 2014 Nissan Versa Note, you will need a roof rack and a kayak carrier.
For your roof rack, I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711220. They're aero-style crossbars with T-slots, making them compatible with a wide variety of accessories while cutting down on wind-noise and drag. To mount the crossbars, you will need the Evo Clamp Feet, part # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet, part # TH145168.
As for the kayak carrier, the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier, part # S512, that you referenced is a great choice. It supports kayaks up to 99 pounds and is compatible with aero-style bars like the WingBar Evos above.
I've linked to video reviews of the bars and carrier below.
