They don't really change his attitude, but perhaps help to focus it. As he explains in his soliloquy "How all occasions do inform against me" you don't have to have thought a thing through consistently to do it. He looks at the soldiers who are happy to risk their lives for no good reason, "for an eggshell" and realizes that if he is going to do something about his problems, he has to spend less time thinking about them and more time doing something about them. He has already partially realized this when he acted spontaneously in stabbing the spy in his mother's bedroom, but as the play progresses he will increasingly take the initiative and grasp at opportunities as they arise: the chance to change the orders carried by Ros and Guil, the opportunity of boarding the pirate ship, and the proposed duelling match with Laertes, which puts him feet away from Claudius with a deadly weapon in his hand. He becomes a fatalist, and things work out a lot better for him when they do.

Why does fortinbras gain the kingdom of denmark at the end of the play?

Fortinbras is heir to the throne of Norway. He is a parallel character to Hamlet. He wants to recover the lands that King Hamlet, Prince Hamlet's father, won away from Norway in combat on the day that Prince Hamlet was born. He asks for free passage across Denmark to attack Poland, but that may be a ruse to get his troops on Danish land to force his claim. [This is what has Claudius worried enough to add extra sentries at the start of the play.] At the end of the play, with all of the corpses littering the floor, Fortinbras assumes the throne of Denmark and orders the corpses to be carted away.
