Where is the contradiction? Genesis 2:1-3 basically cap off the first chapter of Genesis 1. (of course we are aware chapter divisions are not necessarily divinely appointed).
Genesis 2:4-17 seems to lay out the garden of Eden, and the conditons that man was given to live in it.
Genesis 2:18-20 seem to be recap chapter 1 while emphasizing the obvious, that amongst the animal kingdom there was not a helpmeet for Adam. The remainder of the chapter tells how God HIMSELF created Eve from Adam (which account you reject).
I don't see the issue here.
