Wassalaam.
Eid is when the moon is sighted. One cannot ask the question 2 weeks before as the reality for eid does not exist.
With all due respect, it is questions like these which goes to show that the muslims do not know what the ruling is or the cause (sabab) and condition (shart) for ramadaan or eid. This in turn allows those people who do not wish the unity of the muslims to easily deceive the masses from fasting or performing eid on the same day.
If we all followed Allah and his Messenger (saw) rather than individuals then we would be better off.
