Lady Macbeth does not convince Macbeth to kill Macduffs family. She convinces him to kill the King at the start of the play, but after that she has no input in the decisions he makes. Macbeth chooses to have Macduffs family killed so that he may seize the Macduff castle for his own. The witches also tell him to 'beware Macduff' when he visits them and so he feels threatened by him. Macbeth doesn't actually personally kill Macduffs family either, he hires the same thugs that he hires to assassinate Banquo and Fleance to murder him.
