There are no tools in Amber (that I know of!) to compute electric field
gradients. This is an electronic structure property, and it seem unlikely
that using force field atomic charges would give good results. So, a QM/MM
calculation is probably needed. If you are using an external program to do
the QM part of QM/MM, it probably can print out the EFG, so you could
assemble a time series from those outputs.

As usual, if you have access to a published paper that does the sort of
analysis you want, you could get some clues about how to proceed.
