In a polite formal way, it would be: Happy Birthday = お誕生日おめでとうございます。 I like you very much = あなたのことがとても好きです。 but since it's your best friend, it would be better to write it more frankly as: お誕生日おめでとう!君のことがとても好きだよ。 btw, "Happy Birthday" can also be written as "ハッピー・バースデイー" (the same pronunciation but in Japanese) because it's a common phrase.
