I recall a documentary discussing the large Hadron collider, the study of the first moments following the big bang, and the potential concern for the creation of black holes. Is it theoretically possible for an amateur physicist to build their own on a smaller scale?

No. Its not even as much a physics issue as it is an engineering one. Super Colliders require massive amounts of energy and design and expertise from many fields, plus huge amounts of money and materials. Its necessary to have them be really large and powerful as well to get them up to the higher energies needed for these experiments.
