Good noon isn't used in AmE at least. Good evening is a nighttime greeting.

Good noon doesn't exist, but as it only happens for the merest fraction of time, it doesn't matter. Just switch to good afternoon as soon as it's 12 o'clock.
Good night is never used as a greeting. Good evening is the one. Good night would be the equivalent of good bye, but you are better off just saying goodbye, even at night time.

have a good night
is used IMO as a more as a wish to someone when parting for the night, than as a greeting
