Amended returns take 4-6 months to process.

#1) You do not amend to change an address.

Change an address this way:

#2) What is wrong with the SSN? Why do you need to change it?

An incorrect SSN should have caused the original return to reject was it accepted?

If the SS# was issued after you have filed then you have nothing to amend ... you cannot go back to get any credits left off the return if you filed already using an ITIN.

Mail in the form 8822 to change your address. And check your state's web site for their form if needed.

You need to notify the IRS, so it can combine all of your tax records under one identification number. This is from IRS website:

What do I do when I am assigned a social security number (SSN)?
Once you receive a SSN, you must use that number for tax purposes and discontinue using your ITIN. It is improper to use both the ITIN and the SSN assigned to the same person to file tax returns. It is your responsibility to notify the IRS so we can combine all of your tax records under one identification number. If you do not notify the IRS when you are assigned a SSN, you may not receive credit for all wages paid and taxes withheld which could reduce the amount of any refund due. You can visit a local IRS office or write a letter explaining that you have now been assigned a SSN and want your tax records combined. Include your complete name, mailing address, and ITIN along with a copy of your social security card and a copy of the CP 565, Notice of ITIN Assignment, if available. The IRS will void the ITIN and associate all prior tax information filed under the ITIN with the SSN. Send your letter to:
