First, when Hamlet sees the ghost who claims to be the Ghost of his father, the ghost tells him that Claudius Killed hamlet. He is unsure about that, but around act three scene 2 or three, Hamlet assembles this play for the king and the queen, and, seeing how Claudius responded to it, Hamlet seemed to be sure that he did indeed kill his Father

The time is out of joint: O cursed spite,

The only way it makes him at all happy is it validates what he was already feeling--he hated and mistrusted his uncle, was freaked out that he married his mother, and probably resented that he didn't get to be king after his father died. Now that he knows the truth the world makes a bit more sense.

Before his sea voyage, he is biding his time for the perfect opportunity to take his revenge (which will, of course, never come). Upon his return, he is more fatalistic. "If it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all."
