When AUCTeX asks format for tabular env., respond with some non-empty
answer such as c|l|r. Then you'll get suitable number of "&" signs like
this:
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}[t]{c|l|r}
&&
\end{tabular}
\caption{abc}
\label{tab:1}
\end{table}
It doesn't provide "\\". However, you can insert it by C-c C-j or M-RET
(LaTeX-insert-item) at the last of the respective line, which provides
you suitable number of "&" signs again on the next line.
