I would suggest that 3N should show specifically 5 hearts, not 5-6; North would then be more likely to stop bidding.
Edit: And, the spade holding for 3N should be 2-, not 5-. (I know, it's really 4-, since rounds are 9+.)

I think 3S would have been a much better call than 3NT. At least 4S is better than 4H.

Yes I agree with that now.
