There is no "good afternoon" formula in French to greet people, only one for when you are leaving. As a greeting, it is standard to use "bonjour", until the evening. You will use "bonsoir" then. When you are departing, you can use "bonne journée" (for the whole day ahead), "bon après-midi" for the rest of the afternoon, or "bonsoir / bonne soirée" when leaving in the evening.
Bon is the masculine adjective for 'good'. The word 'nuit' is feminine, so the only correct form is 'bonne nuit'.
