Motahareh, the phrase "I wish you happy" is incorrect and ungrammatical, but a few similar phrases are fine. Moreover, saying "I wish you joy" is fine too.
Alternatively, you could try saying one of the following:
1. I wish you happiness.
2. I wish you much happiness.
3. I hope that you'll be happy.
