There are 3 forms of compound nouns: the closed form (e.g. childlike), the hyphenated form (e.g. son-in-law) and the open form (e.g. post office).
With closed form compounds, it a good idea to check the dictionary for the plural. For a word like 'cupful', the dictionary will give you variant spellings, with the first spelling the preferred, i.e. cupfuls/cupsful.
With hyphenated forms, 's' is usually attached to the element that's being pluralised, so son-in-law becomes sons-in-law. The most significant word takes the plural form. This is also the case with open form compounds, post office becoming post offices.
