Just attempted the FR exam and now thinking of attempting AA in September. Would it be a bad idea to do both AA and PM? I'm a full time student and there's 3 months so I think it should be doable, no? Any advice would be appreciated.

See here - it is a good understanding of FA that you need for AA rather than FR https://opentuition.com/acca/plan-your-acca-exam-journey
I suggest you plan your journey beyond September (to the extent possible) - if you have any idea which options you might do, it is better to have a shorter gap after applied skills.
You will see if you look at the survey results referenced in the article https://opentuition.com/acca/survey-results-when-taking-2-acca-exams-which-is-the-best-combination that PM/AA is not popular as a "best" combination - but only you can decide if you want to attempt more than one exam.
You may find this student's journey helpful https://opentuition.com/topic/my-acca-journey-12-exams-in-1-5-years and this student sat AA and FM together https://opentuition.com/topic/my-approach-towards-clearing-aa-with-85 - although she did do well in both with 3 months full-time study, you will see that there were times she regretted having taken on two exams.
