Guten Morgen--good morning
Guten Abend--good evening
Gute Nacht--good night
There is no corresponding form of "good afternoon".
In most German-speaking places you would say "Guten Tag" (good day) as a polite form of "hello". In Austria and southern Germany you might say "Grüß Gott" (literally "Greet God") instead, although some people there dislike it because of its religious nature.
A thorough discussion of German greetings can be found at http://www.hf.uio.no/ilos/studier/fleksibel/uebungen/UebT100/Literatur_kultur/Kultur/Bilder/begr-verab.html , although you might want to run it through a Babelfish translation utility because it's written in German.

At least "Tag!" is not any -formal- salutation. But in each area of Germany "Tag!" is known because the normal greeting. There are of direction one of a kind greetings for one of a kind areas, however "Tag!" is probably the most mostly used. So, yeah, you CAN begin a talk with "Tag!". Sorry, it is precise. Greetings from Germany.
