Why wouldn't it be a good idea? Never a bad time to workout, just leave yourself enough time to eat properly after working out and you should be fine. Working out then going right to bed after without eating would be a terrible idea though however.

Going to the gym late is not a bad thing at all.
You don't want to go to the gym and then immediately go home and try to fall asleep as usually your body will be too alert to sleep and you need to get decent nutrient replenishment before hitting the sack anyways. What you eat and the timeline you do it in is critical.
A pure muscle gain routine will call for a completely different workout and eating plan than a fat loss plan.
For instance, for pure muscle gain you will want easily digested protien and simple carbs into your stomach right after your workout. If not your body will be pulling it from your muscles (even if there is tons of fat around your waste it is not the right nutrients your body is needing). A pre-digested whey protien mixture (concentrate and isolate) is best as it will be digested instantly and add it to a simple carb mixture. You can mix it with milk as it won't matter. Timing is key. Within the first 30min post workout.
For basic fat loss, you want to hit something aerobic for at least 45min. You don't want a belly full of carbs when doing this otherwise your body will be feeding off it instead of fat.
Best to do this as soon as you wake up in the morning. Get up, go for a 45min+ run and then come home. Eat a simple meal or a small protien/carb shake a while later. I would have a small protien shake when you gat back from the run and then eat a meal when you feel hungry.You will find even though you may feel hungry when you first wake up you won't be when you get done your run. Basically because your body is feeding off the fat stores in your body (and not the muscle which is key). You want a bit of protien back in your stomach to get some aminoes back in your system to counteract any catabolism from the muscle activity as your muscles will be a bit depleted. Aerobic will eat carbs and when they're gone it will target fat. That is why it is best to do it first thing in the morning when your stomach is empty. From there, go about your day and then hit the gym in the afternoon or evening.
Well that's a quick start to a load of knowledge available in this area. A lot can be learned from the link I posted earlier in this thread.
Like I said, going to the gym in the evening is not bad as long as you have time to recover your body with nutrients afterwards before going to sleep. Timing is critical. I cannot stress that enough. I on many occassions finish my day by closing the gym with a hard workout at the end of the day around midnight. I don't ever go to sleep before 3am though so it doesn't hold me back at all.

Most decent whey protien powders designed for post workout are pre-digested. Adding milk is not going to make a substantial difference.
The type of whey used is going to make the most difference in absorbsion time. Some types are designed to take longer to absorb such as some meal replacements and the newer "nighttime" protiens now being marketed to fight catabolism while you sleep by keeping your amino pools full longer.
