It is pretty short, but I want to know if someone in Japan would say that regularly.

ignoring the romaji for a moment, you have two different greetings there, which are used at two different times. I don't think you ever use the two together. Separately, both are quite common words in Japanese.
こんにちは konnichiha (the 'ha' is pronounced 'wa' in this case) means 'good day', and generally implies that you know the person your greeting to some extent.
はじめまして hajimemashite is what you say to a someone you don't know when you first meet them. Typically it's then followed by a jikoshoukai じこしょうかい or self-introduction. Or someone might make the introduction on your behalf.
But go study up your kana before you go too much further. There's lots of websites that can help you if you google.
