So with that in mind, if I were to put an amulet of con and a cloak of resistance on say a griffon wonderous figurine, would it resize and shrink with the rest of the griffon when it turns back into a statue?

The LGCS has a ruling on this:

From the LGCS 597 v7.5 - Page 18

Equipment does not automatically resize unless specifically stated otherwise by the effect. If you change size and the effect does not state what happens to your items, only items in the following slots continue to function normally: cloak, amulet/brooch, and weapons. All other items either fall off or are absorbed into your new form and cease to function.

So there is your answer.

I as the GM would rule the items would fall off/be absorbed as the Griffon no longer qualifies as a 'creature' (Wisdom and Charisma score)

I just dont want to waste time by putting on the amulet on the griffon so it doesnt get 1 shotted. I have enough standard actions to do.

I would point out that all the items you mention fall under this list.
