What you described below is the standard approach; another is to prepare
Charmm files (psf, ec.), and convert them yourself using parmed. The
two approaches should give the same results, but might provide different
levels of error reporting.

You can use parmed to examine LJ parameters in your resulting prmtop
file, and compare these manually to what you think they should be.
Comparing all the parameters in anything but a simple system would
probably require writing a script to automate the comparisons.

A simpler test would be to compare LJ energies (for the same
coordinates) in CHARMM and Amber.
