If I have a database consist of 2 data file and 1 log file, when I move to a new server and I plan to merge 2 data files into 1 single file only. Can this be done?

yes it can. Look up DBCC SHRINKFILE with EMTYFILE in BOL. But why would you want to? What is in your second data file? Multiple datafiles usually helps performance. Excpecialy if you put them on different Arrays.
