You won't have any problems. It takes about 2-3 weeks for your DHT levels to return to normal, and even if you reach that point, your hair will not be affected. It would take at least a couple months for your hair folicles to be adversely affected by that... And even in that case, returning on finasteride will more than likely return you right back to where you were in a couple months again. It's not like minoxidil, where you lose all the hair you gained over the course of a month.
