You don't need to change any records in AWS, since you using Cloudflare as your DNS service.
Cloudflare gives you ability to modify DNS zone settings, add A, CNAME and other records.

Just obtain public IP for instance-2 from AWS console, login to Cloudflare, open you domain DNS zone editor and add A record with name of your subdomain pointing to IP of a second instance.

UPDATE: in your cloudflare configuration it should look like:

Type           Name           Value                                   TTL        
    A        mydomainname.com     points to 13.232.XXX.XXX          Automatic
    A        subdomain            points to 123.123.123.123          Automatic       
    CNAME    test                 is an alias of mydomainname.com    Automatic      
    CNAME    www                  is an alias of mydomainname.com    Automatic      
    TXT      mydomainname.com     ca3-b78797cee2b346558bf7a891ff5bd5daXX Automatic
