How can I put .Txt file A at the end of .Txt file B in terminal without opening the files?

A:
Do you mean without opening them in an editor? Use cat:
cat A >> B
The >> redirects the output of the cat command (which output file A) to the file B. But instead of overwriting contents of B, it appends to it. If you use a single >, it will instead overwrite any previous content in B.

Should do it. Not sure what you mean by "not opening", of course the files must be opened, in the operating system sense of the word, for this to happen.
The double arrow is "append".

If it was trivial, the question wouldn't be asked.

I am not sure what you mean by "opening the files", but
$ cat a.txt >> b.txt
should do the trick.
