When looking at the port like so:
The left hole is Negative and the right hole is positive. I also believe the pads are the same.
5V also shouldn't hurt it because the charging circuit inside the 3DS should prevent anything bad from happening. I see a lot of 3rd party chargers that are just straight through USB to charge-port.
Hope this helps!
