Just a few comments. I recommend to take the high speed AVE Train from Madrid to Malaga, city center to ciy center in 2h 30min. Buy tickets in advance and save some 50%: http://www.renfe.com/EN/viajeros/index.html
Malaga city is, as you say, both close and great. Genuine Andalucian atmosphere, the Roman theater just below the Moorish Alcazaba, the beautiful "one-armed" Cathedral, Picassos birth-house and the Picasso museum, the New Carmen Thyssen museum, great cafes, tapas bars and restaurants, theaters and nightlife.
Three recommendations:
Meson de Cervantes, just off the Teatro Cervantes, for dinner:

Tapas at La Campana: http://11870.com/pro/la-campana-malaga

Late night at El Pimpi, an institution in town:

Regarding weather and beaches, it will be too cold for swimming for most people, but past 17 years statistics for second half of March in Malaga says average higs at 68-70F, 7 hours sun/day and rainfall approx one day pr. week (wetteronline.de). Could at least be perfect for lunches at some of the many beachfront restaurants.

No swimming on the beaches in march , we are from Chicago and just experience -65 degrees a week ago so seeing the ocean and eTing tapas sounds lovely !
So checking out the beach and towns , and whatever looks interesting
Madrid to malaga we have a direct flight so no train needed.
Does my itinerary seem too lax? Should I add more
Thank you !!!

Dump the day in Tangiers and you might be okay. Besides, the Aziz Tours only receives marginal ratings despite what you see to TA. The last clients we sent (last June) were less then impressed with the services.
