As everyone else said, the most important thing is a character that you're going to have fun playing. If you want to balance the party a bit, a paladin or melee focused cleric would be your best bet. Bards and moon druids can also fill the tank with healing role.
You currently have no melee characters and a Knight would let you block for the more squishy characters, which they would likely appreciate. But if you'd rather play an arcane archer, your group just needs to get good at hit and run tactics.
Edit: Warlocks can be melee with pact of the blade (especially if hexblade) though I tend to assume they are using Eldritch Blast.
In my party we have 2 magician and 1 warlock. NO healer and Nothing that isn't a spellcaster! What should I do?
Roll a different type of spellcaster like Cleric or Druid =)

One of the great things about 5th edition is that it doesn't rely on the whole "trinity" thing where you need tank, healer and damage dealers.
There are so many ways for the party to regain health, including just taking a rest.
Don't worry too much about what the rest of the players are doing and figure out what character you're interested in playing yourself. :)
That said, I'd avoid all playing the same thing, but even that can work really well.

From a role playing standpoint, playing another wizard where all 3 of the wizards have different schools and focus on different spells could be fun.
My advice is the same as everyone else's though. Ignore what everyone else is playing and pick something that's fun for you to play.

In first place I wanted to play a tiefling fighter could that balance the team?
It's certainly a solid choice that gives options that they don't already have. :)

But witch archetype should I choose between arcane archer and knight?

A war domain cleric might be a good fit if that's something you're interested in playing.
I play a melee heavy Hexblade Warlock. Spells are situational, and I try to do EB only when absolutely necessary.
