My husband and I each filed married but separate and we need amend to married filing jointly. I am not certain how to combine the two.

You only amend one of the separate returns (the one that you want to be listed first - usually the more complex one) and then add the spouse to that in the personal information section and the spouses income. This can only be done manually - there is not way to transfer the spouses information.
