I need to remove 2 devices, iPhone 5SE and iPad from my existing apple ID and create a new ID for them (same ID for both devices). How do I do this?

If you don't need to retain any data on the devices, reset them as 'new' using the steps in the article below.
To create an Apple ID.
To share purchases between the IDs, you can set up Family Sharing.
If you want to retain the data on the devices, when changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion. Also set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your apps/purchases.
