Yes, it's fine.
There are actually three possibilities for negative tag questions following 'I am...'.
1. I am right, am I not?
Correct, but the lack of contraction is quite formal. Often used in a jokey way.
2. I am right, amn't I?
This form does exist, but it is very rare nowadays. You'll hear it in Scotland, but I wouldn't recommend you copy it.
3. I am right, aren't I?
The best option. By far the commonest and most standard form.

Yes but you come off with a serious lack of confidence.
