Not clear on what the month has to do with it, but you should be fine. If it's on one ticket and you miss your connection, you'll be accommodated on another flight to get you to AMS. You question is pretty content-sparse, so there's no way of knowing if there are any later services, but I'd not fret right now.

I think 2 hours should be enough time.

I mentioned august because my experience in Atlanta has been awful in April - May. Only a few times there, but totally consistent with delays due to fog every time I flew there. And it's been at least 10 yrs since I flew there.
The flight I'll take to AMS is the last flight of the evening. Biz class.
Thanks for that link.

Whether you're likely to make the connection has less to do with the weather in Atlanta than the weather wherever you're coming from

It's probably more than enough time. If your inbound flight is delayed, there's a good possibility your outbound flight is delayed as well. Thunderstorms are always a weather option in August, but worrying about it won't change anything. And wasting a half day there getting into ATL too early seems like a poor choice to me. Did you look at the on-time %'s for your flights?
