Happy Passover works just fine. It's a time of celebrating our freedom, tinged with a bit of sadness at the loss of the entire Egyptian army of the time. Also, since I know you're the giving type, we no longer use actual lamb shanks to celebrate, since we no longer give offerings of lamb. Please don't be coming over and applying a little blood to anyone's door.
Second the vote for "happy." Or if you're feeling multi-lingual, chag same-ach, where "ch" is that fun 'clearing your throat' sound like the German "ach." And *post* holiday gifts of cookies are nice, since we don't get to eat them *during* the holiday. :)
I agree that people often say "happy;" I personally usually say "I hope you have a wonderful holiday," which covers you in case the person turns out not to be Jewish.
That would be "happy"

*looks about at the plastic buckets full of lambs' blood*
Uh...are blood puddings kosher for this?
And, you're getting lamb no matter what because my freezer isn't big enough.
thanks

In this specific case, I knew it was Passover, I just wondered what the right phrasing would be.
