Will lightdm start if you do "systemctl start lightdm-plymouth.service"?
If not, check the output from "systemctl status lightdm-plymouth.service" and "journalctl -b" (as root).
Feel free to post the output here, just wrap it in code tags: https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
If it will start manually, check the output of systemctl get-default. If it does not say graphical.target, then run systemctl set-default graphical.target

As regards lightdm.conf, FWIW, in my greeter-session I have
greeter-session=lightdm-lightdm-gtk-greeter-greeter
It's been so long, I don't remember why, sorry.

lightdm-lightdm-gtk-greeter-greeter is none standard lightdm-gtk-greeter is the standard lightdm gtk3 greeter which will be used by default if no greeter-session is specified.

I'm not sure if you're going to use Xorg or Wayland with LightDM, but I'd at least test out Xorg and then post a log from the results of startx. If Xorg fires up without a problem, perhaps try installing xorg-server-xephyr and then run
lightdm --test-mode --debug
