It would help to know what time of year you are planning your trip. In winter you should stay south of I-40 in summer you should stay north of I-40.
If you want a taste of the desert just head for west TX on I-10. If you want the Rocky Mountain experience head for Northern NM and Southern CO. If you are trying to see both then loop up to Southern CO and then come back down into western NM.
A 2 week see it all would be to head for Amarillo, TX then up to Walsenburg, CO, over to Cortez, CO via Durango, south to Gallup and then I-40 home. It would be around 3000 miles driving and should give you a week of sight seeing/staying in one place in a two week trip.
I would plan on 3 days in Cortez and take day trips to Durango, Moab, and Mesa Verde then spend another 3 days near Albuquerque and take day trips to Santa Fe, Bandalier, and Sandia Peak.
