Short answer
Yes, both can be used interchangeably, in the case of your sentence.
Explanation
変更する means to change something that has been decided, like a plan**
変える means to change something in general*. For example, plans, content, etc.
In the latter half of your sentence:
...会議の日を変る
変更する and 変える are interchangeable, because 会議の日 is something that has been decided. This fits both definitions. In practice, many people including myself use both interchangeably when talking about schedule.
Reference
* 変える
１ 物事を以前と違った状態・内容にする。変化させる。変更する。「姿を―・える」「顔色を―・える」「考えを―・える」「話題を―・える」「戦術を―・える」
** 変更する
［名］(スル)決められた物事などを変えること。「計画を変更する」
