Yeah, it'll definitely do the trick. However, I think that, given it's only 2 months old, you oughta take it back to the shop you bought it from and demand that they fix it; either by showing you that it can be properly adjusted, or by replacing the brakes. I'd be amazed if Trek spec'd insufficiently long brakes on the bike, but I've seen stupider things done before.
Hopefully the shop will fix the problem AND show you what's misadjusted. If not, you can get a decent pair of long-reach caliper brakes from Nashbar for about $20. You'd need allen wrenches and patience to be able to install them yourself
