I have used SineFit in the file exchange, and it works well most of the time, but has a tendency not to converge. I have also tried sinfapm, but the phase it gives never lines up.

1. Use all (not just 2) of your data points to estimate w via a dft.
2. Use all of yor data points to estimate A and B from a least squares backslash solution.
Hope this helps.
