Is it ok to give my son both formula and breast milk hence he is 2months old today?

Many do: Adding formula to a meal plan can lead to your breastmilk supply declining and eventually drying up. For those with the time and patients to totally breastfeed, feeding more often increases supply. If your life won't allow that, you do the best you can and let it work itself out. Available commercial formulas are modeled after BM and provide good nutrition.
