If you watch ALL of Hayate, Just keep in mind everything from episode 20 to 52 doesn't count in the HnG storyline. So when you reach Season 2, the date jumps back about 11 months (lol)
As for Can't Take My Eyes Off You (season 3), the season is an original story that just happens to not be in the manga, but since it was created by the manga author, it flows with the storyline still since HnG is episodic in the first place. Also, Cuties (season 4) take place like 200 chapters into the manga so prepare for a time skip and new characters, so yeah, Hayate is a mess.
I'm currently on Cuties and almost finished with it. This all may sound confusing, but the seasons flow pretty nicely and after a few episodes in each season, you'll be up to speed and won't have any problems.
