I think this is what you're wanting.

Go to page 1-8 (page 30 in the file)
It's got time, duration of burn, and delta-v in feet per second

TransLunarInjection (breaking Earth Orbit and heading for the moon) is
a 5:20 minute burn  (320 seconds) for 10,451 fps.
I call that about 3185 m/s over 320sec , or right about 1g
Note this is the last of the fuel in the last stage of the Saturn
launch vehicle, and they dump it after this.

Lunar Orbit Injection is just shy of 6 minutes (5:58.9 or 358.9sec) for 888m/s
I make that 2.47 m/s^2 , or about  1/4g

TransEarthInjection (breaking lunar orbit) is 2:29.4 (149.4 sec) for
3292.7 fps or about 1000m/s
I make that as 6.7m/s, or about 2/3g
(Note the performance increase from not pushing the LM any more)

There's a lot of really neat stuff in that document...
If I had a bunch of free time, it'd be tempting to rewrite it as an
IISS "Mission Planning Workbook", with fill-in-the-blank sections.
