The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas is the Curt hitch part # C13366 because it has the best towing capacities, is mostly hidden so it looks great installed, and also installs easier than other options.

Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118754 is the best option as it installs very easily and comes with a very reliable converter box which means it will be the most likely to resist damaging itself due to a trailer wiring short.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
