Forget update W4

When my child turned 17 this year, I didn't update my W-4. So, I will owe over $1500 in federal tax when I file my tax return next year. Can I update my W4 now and make an Extra withholding of $750 per month on 4c to make it up? ( because I only left 2 pay period) Is it a good idea to avoid underpayment? Thanks.
