You can transfer some things, but it is cumbersome. Purchases cannot be transferred and since the first ID is to be deleted, anything bought with it won't be available for sharing with Family Sharing.

I'd just like to note that you can't transfer content from one Apple ID to another so, anything you've purchased on the old Apple ID will become inaccessible under the new one.
