It might be taking a long time for AMPL to generate all of the constraints; this is not common, but of course it can happen if the generated problem is large or complex enough. To get a better idea of what is going on, add these statements before the solve:
option times 1, gentimes 1;
option show_stats 1;
Wait half an hour after the solve, just to be sure nothing more is going to happen, and then post the output that you see.
