If the premise of the campaign is Wild magic, a Djinn might not be a good target; they generally filly the word of their contract while ignoring the spirit (very Monkey's Paw like), and I'm not sure if the binding clauses would even hold in your world. In other words, they might get summoned, pretend to totally be bound by a Wish contract, and then do whatever.

Now, if you say they are tied to a contract by DM fiat, we can go with one of the usual methods. First, a good counter to Djinn shenanigans is to offer one of the wishes to them in exchange for fulfilling to spirit of your wish, with no untoward twisting of the intent. Include in this payment that he must depart without harming you and your friends, either through action or inaction. If he fulfills these things in good faith, he will have access to a wish for himself.
This generally works, since it leaves open the impression your character would be willing to do this again for him in the future.

What spells or preparations could I take to ensure it couldn't just rampage when I bring him to the plane. I have a Wizard in the party and he's essentially the only other spellcaster. What other spells or slik tricks could I try to pull to help make the fight even short of Planar Binding?

Djinn are normally tied to a generic contract by the summoning item used (magic lamp or some such). This prevents the Djinn from using its abilities outside of the wishes. Because Djinn able (and willing) to grant wishes are Lawfully aligned, the best chance you have is to obtain a contract prior to summoning them.
If you think combat might be required, it would be best to have anti-magic preparations. Something to prevent spells, or to fireproof your chars would be good..
That said, you can always just go for the bum rush option- tie him up in multiple body grapples until he promises to behave (make sure to do a dimensional anchor first). A Djinn is strong, but a few high Str chars can handle him, depending on high important the Djinn is. Note this option might make further negotiations awkward.
