If you connect the 2A power supply to the 3A device it probably won't supply enough current to run the motor, and the power supply might heat up quickly. If you connect the 3A power supply to the 2A device it will work but the voltage might be slightly higher than normal because of the typical poor voltage regulation of power supplies. In either case there should be no damage to the devices.
