next week's meeting vs next weeks' meeting

The correct phrase is "next week's meeting," because an apostrophe after the word "weeks" implies that more than one week is being specified, e.g.: "two weeks' worth."

There can only be one "next week" (week right after this week).

This phrase is not correct. Don't use it.

"next weeks' meeting"

When there is an apostrophe at the end of a noun, it indicates a plural noun. We are only talking about one week here (next week, of which there can be only one), so the word "weeks" needs to have an apostrophe between "week" and "s."
