Technical note: "Happy Eid Mubarak" is a phrase is a bit like "Happy Merry Christmas", since "Eid Mubarak" translates as "Blessed Eid".

"Eid Mubarak" is fine as is.

"Eid" is the day, and "Mubarak" means merry/blessed. So "Happy Eid" could be the sentiment if you're uncomfortable with pronouncing "Mubarak" (which is completely phonetic, by the way) or just "Eid Mubarak."
