If I have to stay overnight and pay for a hotel, I'd rather book the AMS-ATL leg for the morning after that so I can spend the day in Amsterdam, but is this possible?

Apologies if this question has been addressed before - I did a search but only found threads about booking award travel.

It depends on the fare rules. More expensive fares are likely to allow either free stopovers or stopovers for a nominal additional fee. This is stated in the fare rules.

To book on delta.dumb, do a multicity search. You can then compare the fare and even check how much the same fare class would cost without the upgrade.
