I have the 2017 tax return form excluding the child tax credit and I send it to get the ITIN. Can I redo the tax return to include child tax credit once I get the ITIN?

I got a child and she don't have an ITIN or SSN. She just has the passport and H4 visa and she's living with me since March 2017.

Given this situation, Let's say, I have the 2017 tax return form excluding the child tax credit and I send it to get the ITIN.

And once I get the ITIN on hand, can I redo the 2017 tax return to include child tax credit?

Simply, I'm just looking to see how can I get the child tax credit for 2017.
