I generated my ligand topology by gromose96 54a7 ff ( [moleculetypes] was Protein_chain_B) and converted it to .itp file to string it in Protein.top file, then, added Protein_chain_B in [ molecules ] directive to create one topology file for my complex. Created newbox and solvate.

You shouldn't have to do any topology manipulation. pdb2gmx handles multiple 
chains natively without any additional effort on your part.
