The wear on the transmission from going between N and D is negligible, and represents much less forces than even moderate acceleration. Prior to the mid 1990's some American makes did indeed have issues with frequent manual gear selections on an AT, and one South Korean manufacturer still does (Daewoo, makers of the Chevy Aveo), but it is nothing to worry about in the Yaris.
